Pro-Life Advocacy & Resources
-
The Gift of Life comes from God alone and is always to be respected and defended as such
Pro-Life Advocate for the Eparchy of Phoenix: Deacon James Danovich
Mary, Helper of Mothers- We affirm the God-given dignity and value of every human being at every stage of life, beginning with conception, and must make every effort to defend and protect human life while urging others to do the same.
- Advocacy in this area of our faith is truly a ministry of the Church which touches everyone, inviting them to a deeper appreciation and acceptance of these truths, particularly when faced with challenges to it in our increasingly secular society.
- We ask in particular for the intercession of the Theotokos Helper of Mothers, who has a special place in the heart of Bishop Artur and our Eparchy of Phoenix.
Pro-Life News:- May 20: The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and other Catholic groups appealed a court ruling that would require them to provide workplace accommodations for employees seeking an abortion in certain circumstances.
