Respect Life
St. Katharine Drexel Parish

"The Church... is called to proclaim the gift of life, to serve life, and to promote a culture of life... The proclamation of life, life in abundance, must be the heart of the new evangelization. For true life - our salvation - can only be found in the reconciliation, freedom and love which are God's gracious gift."
                     Pope Benedict XVI, Homily at Votive Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral, April 19, 2008
