St. Matthew’s Respect Life Ministry focuses on promoting and cultivating a culture of life and witnessing to the dignity of all human life, from conception to natural death. All are invited to attend the monthly rosary procession which will be held on Saturday, September 22 after the 8am Mass. We will pray the rosary as we walk to Planned Parenthood, the abortion facility on 16th Street, NW. Rosary processions are held on the fourth Saturday of every month.

We invite those who are interested in joining the Respect Life ministry to attend our monthly meeting which takes place on the fourth Thursday of each month. This month’s meeting will be held on Thursday, September 27 from 6:45 to 8pm in the West Conference Room. For more information, please contact the Respect Life Ministry co-coordinators, Justin Silvers and Sarah Roque, at stmatthewsrespectlife@yahoo.com.
