The St. Philip Neri Pro-Life Committee strives to educate parishioners and our community with regard to the sanctity of all human life from conception to natural death.

Our mission is achieved through prayer and outreach activities. Activities we support include:

• Advent Baby Shower – parishioners are asked to donate baby items to the crib by St. Joseph’s altar in anticipation of our Lord’s birth. These items are then given to a local crisis pregnancy center during the Christmas season
• Life Chain – an annual prayerful protest against abortion where participants hold signs which read “Abortion Kills Children” along 72^nd and Dodge Streets
• Vigil for Life – a Mass celebrated by the Archbishop, followed by exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and a living rosary walk to the abortion clinic in Bellevue
• Support for Project Rachel – a healing ministry for post-abortive women and their families; as well as many other activities endorsed by the Bishop’s Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities.

The SPN Pro-Life Committee also has access to information for parishioners wishing to know the Church’s official teaching on abortion, contraception, natural family planning, stem cell research, euthanasia and other life issues. These materials are provided by the Bishop’s Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities.
