Parish Coordinator Materials
The Parish Respect Life Committee, led by the Parish Respect Life Coordinator (Coordinator), is a vital part of Respect Life Apostolate’s success in serving the community. Not only do committees and coordinators provide resources to their parish on life issues, they also actively evangelize their fellow parishioners on life issues and support the pastor and priests in making life issues visible at the parish level.
Here are some resources available for Parish Committees and Coordinators to encourage a Culture of Life:
