St. Vincent De Paul Parish Pro-Life Ministries Mission Statement

St. Vincent's Pro-Life Ministries is committed to advancing recognition and care for the dignity of every human life at every stage. Through prayer, study, education and action, we address moral issues and clarify and support the teaching of the Catholic Church and Bishops. The attacks on LIFE from conception to death are rampant in our culture. The Lord is counting on us all to stand in commitment to every life at every stage, from conception to natural death. We encourage parishioners to participate as responsible Catholic citizens in private and public life, and to support works which defend human life and help to rebuild a Culture of Life.

 Pray For Life! 

To help stop the anti-life push around the world, the late Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen encouraged the spiritual adoption of an unborn child.  This is done by praying that the one particular but unknown child’s life be spared abortion and be allowed to continue to live. To help accomplish this, it was recommended an individual say the following daily prayer for a period of nine months. Begin today! 

“Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of [baby’s name] the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.”        - Prayer of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Prayer for All Human Life
 

-Reverend John G. Hillier, October 2013
 

Cenacle Prayer of Offering:

Blessed mother our the Redeemer, redeem mankind through your eternal Son, Jesus, for He so died that we might live in Him. Please Mother, accept our spiritual offering of rosaries and fasts and give them to your Divine Son for us, to plead our case to the Father Almighty, that we may be spared our due judgement on this nation for killing the unborn, sick, elderly and unwanted. Please Mother, intercede to defeat this culture of death. Claim victory over all of your children's lives from conception until they are called home by the Father. Please Ever-Virgin, shed your graces upon our nation. Touch all people's hearts and recognize & defend the value of every human life created by God. Touch minds and hearts of the Presidents, Legislators, Justices, Governor, and people of this land that all may recognize and repent for the horror we have done to human life. Please, Advocate of God's children, bring your message to your Son and intercede in a mighty way, so that we may reverence and protect the unborn, elderly, sick and every human life in every condition. May God help us to restore a Culture of Life, and may His Glory be manifested here on earth, we pray through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
