Respect Life
Every life is worth living, whether it lasts for a brief moment or a hundred years, each of our lives is a perfect gift. At every stage and in every circumstance, we are held in existence by God's love. Our relationships on earth are meant to help us and others grow in perfect love. We are meant to depend on one another, serve each other in humility, and walk together in times of suffering.
All Saints organizes a monthly collection for the Pregnancy Choices Life Care Center in Apple Valley, which offers direct support to women and families dealing with challenging pregnancies.
Faithful Citizenship
