Respect Life sponsors the Gabriel Project, which assists women in crisis pregnancies and gives baby showers for Mary's Center and Birthright. It provides bus service for the annual March for Life in Washington, DC, sponsors children through CFCA from our sister parish's spiritual adoption program in El Salvador, and educates the parish through books, newsletters, bulletin inserts, etc. The committee meets once a month.
