Sanctity of Life
|
“Among the vulnerable for whom the Church wishes to care with particular love and concern are unborn children, the most defenseless and innocent among us. … [The] defense of unborn life is closely linked to the defense of each and every other human right. It involves the conviction that a human being is always sacred and inviolable, in any situation and at every stage of development.” (The Joy of the Gospel, 213).
According to the World Health Organization, there are on average 120,000 abortions per day globally.

St. Charles Borromeo Spiritual Adoption Ministry
This parish has developed all the documents needed to establish or enhance a Spiritual Adoption ministry at your parish, school or other location. Spiritual Adoption is a powerful intercessory prayer ministry based on our belief that God will spare a child from abortion when we intercede for that child and her or his family and the circumstances that are leading them to consider abortion.
