The mission of the Respect Life Ministry of St. Mark is to promote, defend, and celebrate the sanctity of life from conception to natural death. With the divine assistance and guidance of the Holy Spirit, we endeavor to save the lives of the unborn and provide support and assistance for their mothers and fathers in our community by way of prayer, fasting, fundraising, evangelization, and volunteerism. Through the giving of our time, talents, and treasures, our hope is to increase awareness and aid in ending the culture of death in our society.
