Pro-Life Activities

Our parish Respect Life Program creates and sustains respect for human life at every stage of its existence and in every situation from conception until natural death. This includes:

• Sponsoring the bus trip to Washington DC in January for the March for Life
• Holding an annual flower sale, with the proceeds donated to organizations that offer supportive services to homeless women, children, and pregnant women. 
• Focusing on such issues as abortion, war, the death penalty, euthanasia, elder abuse, poverty and racism.
• We publish a monthly Pro-Life Newsletter (below).

The Pro-Life Committee of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish is holding a diaper and wipe drive during October—Respect Life Month.  You will be asked to drop off your donations in the boxes at any of our parish churches, or playpen marked “Diaper Drive.” The most needed sizes are 3-5. Supporting mothers who choose to  accept life is one our missions. We appreciate your help in this work.  Any questions, call Dianne at 412-366-7869.

40 Days for Life is a community-based campaign that draws attention to the evil of abortion. The most visible component of 40 Days for Life is a constant prayer vigil outside a place where children are aborted, Planned Parenthood on Liberty Avenue downtown. Ours is a prayerful witness to the clinic's patients, employees and the entire community, that evil is in our midst and that with God's help, it will be defeated.
