Saint Rita Parish Respect Life Group

Our mission is to make the respect life message live in the hearts and actions of all Saint Rita parishioners. Restoring respect for human life at all stages from initial conception to natural death is our goal. Our program embraces the four foundational aspects of this task as articulated by our Bishop Paul S. Loverde, namely: prayer, education, action, and sacrifice.

WE ARE A PEOPLE OF LIFE, AND A PEOPLE FOR LIFE.

One major focus is our monthly Respect Life Mass celebrated on the fourth Saturday of each month followed by Holy Rosary prayer at the Duke Street Alexandria abortion facility where we pray in order to (1) ask for Divine assistance in the struggle to establish appropriate respect for life and to eliminate abuses against human life and; (2) to be a public example to our neighbors, abortion clients, abortionists, and abortion facility employees that abortion is truly an evil which terminates human lives and needs to be remedied; (3) to offer arriving abortion clients one last opportunity to change their minds; and (4) to make known to abortion clients that both a support ministry and a healing ministry are available for them so that they can have their child. If interested in joining, please contact Joe Zimmer at 703-548-1784 or jbzimmer@comcast.net.

The Saint Rita Parish Respect Life Group sponsors a variety of parish-wide activities designed to help restore respect for all human life.
