Respect Life
St. Francis of Assisi Parish Respect Life seeks to provide information and organize activities that promote the teachings of the Church on the dignity of each human person from the moment of conception to a natural death. We pray for an end to the evils of our society which violate the dignity of persons. Efforts are ongoing to provide educational materials and maintain a Respect Life bulletin board in the church foyer. Included in group activities are participation in the annual Life Chain in October and March for Life Pilgrimage to Washington in January. Support is also given to the local Pregnancy Care Center. As Catholics, we are all called to pray for and protect the dignity of all life. View photos of March for Life by clicking here.

October Respect Life Calendar:
Month of October
Cemetery of Innocents
Crosses are placed on the front lawn of the church property to remind the community to pray for the unborn. These crosses are representative of the lives ended each day by abortion in our country.
Baby Bottle Campaign
Baby bottles are available in the foyer of the Church. Donations of change, cash or checks can be placed in the bottle and returned to the church. The Faith Formation classes are particpating in a contest to see which class can raise the most money. The winning class will enjoy a pizza party. All proceeds benefit the Smoky Mountain Pregnancy Care Center.
