The focus of this ministry is on building a strong “respect life & social justice culture” at Resurrection. Prayer is primary, followed by care, advocacy and education of our parishioners. We help educate our fellow parishioners about current issues & how to provide resources for those in need. Prayer activities include the monthly Rosary for Life before weekend Masses, 2am Saturday Adoration, and the Mass for Life with Bishop Kemme. We also facilitate educational speakers for special events eg. Life on Tap. Annually, we help organize March for Life in January, Warming Souls in February, Rally for Life in April and LIFE CHAIN in October. Greg & Kelly Davied: 316-210-6547
