Life ministries help teach the Church's position regarding the interrelated issues regarding human life and chastity, to which communing Catholics are bound in conscience to obey, and which all people would benefit from practicing, as they stem from natural law. Our Church with it's unrelenting insistence on natural family planning, is the only comprehensive solution to the growing cultural refusal to accept appropriate responsibility to all human life from the actions which generate it to the issues involved in its various stages of health and age-an attitude that usually begins with acceptance of artificial contraception and then abortion.
Activities
St. Daniel's abortion mill prayer vigils are priest-led, fully parish sponsored events for which all are invited to participate, usually at Planned Parenthood (PP) on Apache & Dorsey (1/2 mile west of McClintock) in Tempe. We pray the full 4 decades, but we know it is difficult for some, and any part you can do will be appreciated. If you can't attend, consider praying the rosary before the Blessed Sacrament at the designated time. Parking is available on Dorsey, north of Apache. It is not recommended to park in the parking lot of the shopping center where PP is.
Fund raising
Last year, we had very successful Christmas tree present drive for Maggie's place affiliates (homes for unwed mothers). We will be supporting some expectant mothers' centers from time to time.
