The future of the world and of the church passes Through the Family - John Paul II

We are asked to love and honour the life of every man and woman and to work with perseverance and courage so that our time, marked by all too many signs of death, may at last witness the establishment of a new culture of life, the fruit of the culture of truth and of love. - Evangelium Vitae

What is urgently called for is a general mobilization of consciences and a united ethical effort to activate a great campaign in support of life.
All together, we must build a new culture of life. - Evangelium Vitae

Ways to Promote a Culture of Life
Witness!
Stand outside Planned Parenthood and pray the rosary, hand out materials or become a sidewalk counselor. Many babies have been saved by prayerful witness. Families are especially powerful. Map to Planned Parenthood

Cenacles of Life are prayer groups that combine the rosary and fasting to end this culture of death.

Raise many devout Catholic children
Let the world see the joy in being a family, and when you talk about your children speak about the joy they bring to your life.

Support Local Pregnancy Centers
Volunteer, donate baby items or help raise funds.

Educate yourself
Read Church documents like the ones listed at the bottom of this page. Receive pro-life emails from and support pro-life groups like Priests for Life, American Life League, Human Life International, LifeSiteNews.com, and LifeNews.com, . Check out the American Life League's three-part plan to defeat PP.

Speak Up
Talk to friends, encourage priests, write editorials, wear the precious feet, post comments under articles, use pro-life checks, envelopes and bumper stickers.

Promote the Church's teaching on sexuality
One More Soul, the Couple to Couple League and CatholicInfertility.org are great resources.

Help elect Pro-Life candidates
Vote pro-life, promote your pro-life candidates, or distribute voting guides like the Voter's Guide for Serious Catholics put out by Catholic Answers.

Join the Boycott
 Help fight Planned Parenthood by refusing to do business with corporations that fund their deadly agenda. To date, at least 157 corporations have ceased funding Planned Parenthood!, which has cost the abortion-committing Goliath more than $40 million!

Participate in Local Events
This spring Cincinnati is planning a 40 Days for Life campaign focused on prayer and fasting, a peaceful vigil and community outreach.

Helper's of God's Precious Infants' Prayer Vigil for Life includes a Mass, rosary walk to Planned Parenthood and Benediction beginning 8:00 a.m. every 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Saturday at Holy Name Church (513/984-6742). Map to Holy Name Church
