The right to life of every individual from conception to natural death is one of the primary tenets of our Catholic faith. These ministries are dedicated to raising the conscience of our parish and community on the importance of maintaining that right. There are a variety of events during the year with the hope of ending abortion. The St. Boniface prayer chain is held near September every year. 40 Days for Life does 40 Days of peaceful prayer at the Hope Clinic in Granite City during Lent and another time toward late fall to pray for the end of abortion and for those who are affected by it. We ask everyone to prayerfully consider taking one hour to pray at the clinic. Any questions please call the Parish Office or email [email protected].
