The Pro Vita ministry supports the all pro-life activities from womb to tomb. They support the Secretarit of Pro-life Pastoral Plan for Pro-life Activities that the US Bishops have set forth as elements necessary for authentic Catholic pro-life efforts in the United States: praye, public information and education, public policy, and pastoral care (https://www.usccb.org/prolife). Some of the local pro-life activities we support are the Pregnancy Decision Health Center (https://www.pdhc.org/), the Walk for Life, the National Life Chain, the Ohio March for Life, the National March for Life, Baby Showers for Life, Bottoms Up diaper donations, Baby Bottles Campaign, Fisher Catholic Irish for Life Club, and 40 Days for Life. We have combined efforts with The Basilica of St. Mary & St. Joseph Pro-life Ministries (called Pro Vita) and will begin regular meetings again in January 2024. Contact persons are Daphne Stewart and Cindy Aiello.
