Pro-Life Ministry
Who We Are & What We Do
The Pro-Life Ministry at St. Ann’s is dedicated to upholding the sanctity of life from conception to natural death. Through prayer, education, and outreach, we strive to foster a culture of life within our parish and the broader community. Whether through advocacy efforts, supporting expectant mothers, or raising awareness on life issues, we provide opportunities for parishioners to actively live out their faith in defense of life.
Why We Exist
Inspired by the words of Jeremiah 1:5—“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you”—our ministry exists to affirm the God-given dignity of every person. We work to promote a culture that values and protects life at all stages, offering compassion and support to those facing difficult decisions. Our mission aligns with the Church’s call to be a voice for the voiceless and to provide tangible assistance to those in need.
Who We Serve
Our ministry serves the unborn, expectant mothers, families in need, the elderly, and the vulnerable in our community. Through partnerships with pro-life organizations, pregnancy resource centers, and parish initiatives, we provide material, emotional, and spiritual support to those who need it most.
