Mission Statement
The San Antonio de Padua Respect Life Ministry advocates that all human life be treated with love, respect, dignity, compassion, and mercy. Our Catholic faith teaches us that life must be protected at all stages from conception to natural death. Human life is a gift from our Lord and we are in awe of this blessing.
All life, including our unborn children, those who are dying, our elderly, our children, young adults, the disabled, our neighbors, prisoners and their victims, are human beings made in God’s likeness and with such, we share our love, just as Jesus Christ taught us to share His love.

Our members focus on prayer to end abortion, educating the community about pro-life Catholic teaching and USCCB initiatives, raising funds to provide assistance to the local pro-life organizations. Those organizations include Life Center of Santa Ana-Walking with Moms, Obria Medical Clinic, and Mary’s Path (a shelter home). Our ministry activities include 40 Days for Life, Mother’s Day Roses, Walking with Mom's in Need, and the yearly March for Life.
Meetings are held monthly on the third Wednesday of the month from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM at San Antonio de Padua Parish in Conference Room #1.
