GENERAL INFORMATION
Pope John Paul II named Our Lady of Guadalupe as the Queen and Mother of America. He entrusted to her the “future path of the Church on the great continent of America.” In January of 1999 at her Basilica in Mexico City he said, “The Church must proclaim the Gospel of Life and speak out with prophetic force against the culture of death. This is our cry: life with dignity for all . . . . The time has come to banish once and for all from the Continent every attack against life."

The mission of the St. Joseph Parish pro-life committee is to work to proclaim the Gospel of Life through prayer and action. We wish to educate, inform, guide and inspire our fellow parishioners to become actively involved along with us in protecting human life from the moment of conception to the time of natural death.
