  • The Respect Life Apostolate is blessed to welcome the 2025 young adult pro-life missionaries from Biking for Babies to the Archdiocese of St. Louis on Saturday, July 19. Starting at 4:30 p.m. at St. Joseph Manchester Parish, join the RLA at their national Celebration of Life event! Come cheer on their missionaries as they ride their final leg of their 3,600 total miles. You can expect:
    • Free dinner
    • Inspiring speakers
    • Fun for the whole family
    • Basket and 50/50 raffles
    and an invitation to answer God’s call to your own personal mission, all while we celebrate life together!

    Much more than a mission trip, Biking for Babies equips young people with the tools to advocate and garner support for life in their communities while also promoting awareness and financial support for pregnancy resource centers throughout the U.S., including those in our own Archdiocese.
    This family-friendly event is free, but registration is required at: https://www.bikingforbabies.com/col-mo/

     

  • Each month since January 2000, the Archdiocese of St. Louis has held a pro-life Mass & Rosary on the third Saturday. The prayer vigil, held either at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis or a host parish, includes Saturday morning Mass and the Holy Rosary prayed either before or after Mass.

    The four-fold prayer of each monthly pro-life prayer event is for: upholding the dignity of preborn children; moms, couples, and families facing unexpected pregnancy; those caught up in the abortion industry to embrace the Gospel of Life; and those wounded by abortion to receive healing. If your parish would like to host one of our prayer events in 2026, please contact madeleineappelbaum@archstl.org or 314.792.7598.
