Meetings are held on the
last Thursday of each month at 3:30 PM in Msgr. Casey
Hall. All are invited to join us in our efforts to defend all life,
and to "wrong the right" . We keep informed on all
current issues, write, call, fax or e mail our elected
representatives regarding issues coming up for a vote and letting
them know where we stand on such issues. With the assistance of our
Diocesan Office and the NCCCB our aim is to educate and inform our
parishioners about the many life issues and decisions that we
are dealing with in today's world.
Each county holds a
bi annual regional meeting with the other parish reps in
that specific county. Host parishes hold the meetings on a
rotating basis where reports and idea's are
shared. We place penny jars at the doors of the church to
raise money which is all used for respect life purposes.
We support pro life groups such as Priests for Life, NJ Right
to Life, Good Counsel Homes, Madonna House, Life Dynamics, and
such organizations dealing with families, mothers and children in
need. We participate in the annual march for life in Washington DC
each year.
