"The "people of life" rejoices in being able to share its commitment with so many others. Thus may the "people for life" constantly grow in number and may a new culture of love and solidarity develop for the true good of the whole of human society."
The Gospel of Life, 101

Get Involved
Every of us can make a difference. Each of us has a talent to contribute, if only for an hour every week or month.
How can you help?
- Give generously to People of Life, the bishops' pro-life action campaign, or to your diocesan Respect Life Office or local programs of pastoral care.
- Pray privately and take part in programs of prayer.
- Join your parish Respect Life Committee. If there is none, ask the pastor if you can start one. Your diocesan Respect Life Office can help you.
- Take part in discussions about abortion and euthanasia at work or where acquaintances gather. Respectfully discuss these issues with colleagues.
- If you belong to a professional organization, advance pro-life positions.
- Volunteer to counsel women in a local pregnancy aid center; ask the diocesan Respect Life Office how you might assist the diocese's post-abortion ministry.
- Volunteer for a respite care program that helps families caring for seriously ill members at home; help the local hospice program.
- Contact your federal or state representatives on important pro-life legislation, especially when asked to do so by your diocese or parish—send that letter, make that phone call, sign that postcard.
- Stay well informed on the issues by receiving the People of Life e-newsletter. Subscribe today by emailing your name and diocese to prolife@usccb.org.
