Respect Life
About Our Respect Life Ministry
The Mission of the Respect Life Ministry is to promote respect for all human life from conception to natural death, as a gift from God, worthy of protection. As a parish family, we strive to accomplish this through Prayer, Education, Advocacy, Witness and Support. The Committee meets once a month on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:30pm, in the rectory. For more information, contact Phil Veltre at 516-732-5366, or email him at pveltre@optonline.net

Spiritual God-parent Adoption Prayer
Lord Jesus,
Today I lift up in prayer the life of (insert a name), an unborn child. I ask you to protect and shield this child from all harm. Mary and Joseph, I ask your intercession for the parents of this child, that God would shower His love and mercy upon them and guide them at this difficult time. May He send His Spirit to empower them to choose life. I am confident, Lord, that my prayer is heard today, and I trust that you are at work in this and every circumstance.
Thank you Lord Jesus! …Amen
