Pastoral Care
— Offering Project Rachel for post-abortive women
— Helping pregnant women in crisis with current needs through support of pregnancy help centers
— Working with Catholic Adoption Services and crisis pregnancy centers
Public Policy
— Monitoring state and federal legislation on pro-life issues

— Networking with various state and national pro-life organizations
— Disseminating action alerts and legislative information from the USCCB to parishes and respect life contact persons
Prayer and Worship
