Life Matters in DC!
The mission of the Life Matters ministry at the Church of St. Patrick is to help our parish be a center of life—a parish of people who understand important contemporary life issues and who recognize the rights and needs of those among us who are most vulnerable, particularly mothers and their unborn children. Life Matters is committed to promoting a renewed respect for Human Life from conception to natural death. We do this through prayer, education, and participation in activities that promote reverence for life.
Life Matters educational activities include our annual Respect Life Weekend in October, Spiritual Adoption, March for Life, rosary prayer for an end to abortion, and distribution of information on important legislation regarding life issues.
Come and join our Life Matters ministry and help spread the Good News about the precious gift of Life! Members of the Life Matters ministry meet on a monthly basis.
