The mission of OLOL Respect Life Ministry is to acknowledge and respect all human life from the moment of conception until natural death. Life is precious, a gift from God. As members of this Ministry, we try to educate our parish family and especially our children so they realize that we are made in the image of God and because we have received this gift, we have a responsibility toward God, ourselves, and others to protect and nurture human life at every stage of its existence."We are called to defend and safeguard human life, especially in the mother's womb, in infancy, old age and physical or mental disability." -- Pope Francis
