Dignity of Life

The mission of the Dignity of Life Committee of Saint Bernadette Church is to raise the level of awareness of our fellow parishioners to the many threats to human life present in today's culture-one that Pope John Paul called "a culture of death". Further, we hope to inspire parishioners to pray and work toward changing this culture. We coordinate the parish support of “40 Days for Life” and the October Baby Bottle campaign.  We support Little Way Pregnancy Resource Center with Mother’s Day rose sales.  Other local ministries supported by our committee are Lifehouse, Golden Arrow, Angels in Disguise, and Saint Bernadette Diaper Bank.

Last year we raised more than $7,000 for Little Way Pregnancy Resource Center through the baby bottle campaign and Mother’s Day rose sales.
 
Time:  The mission is carried out by weekly bulletin info and reminders for prayer and, by supporting local and national organizations involved in life-affirming work.  Meetings are held two or three times a year.  The group communicates regularly via email.
 
Gifts and talents: All members of high school age and beyond are welcome. This ministry also has many opportunities for youth service hours.
