Description of Program:
Volunteers for Life are inspired by the Holy Spirit to assist in building a culture of life rather than a culture of death. They do this through prayer and action, supporting the Respect Life Program of the Catholic Church. Volunteers work in Pro-life agencies, Respect Life offices, parishes, maternity homes, day care centers, hospices, settlement houses - wherever positive pro-life family values are being promoted. Volunteers may do direct service or assist in administration or programming. They assist in promoting chastity, NFP, family life, child care, and social justice issues.
