Excerpts from the Pastoral Plan for Pro Life Activities headed by Bishop Burbidge:

“Some behaviors are always wrong, always incompatible with our love of God and the dignity of the human person. Abortion, the direct taking of innocent human life prior to birth is always morally wrong.”

The Pastoral Plan:

1. “Public information and education to deepen the understanding of the sanctity of human life.”

2. “Pastoral care for women with problems related to pregnancy, for all who have been involved in abortion “-*may we love them both.

3. “Public policy efforts directed to restoring legal protection to the lives of unborn children.”

4. “Prayer and worship directed to participation in the sacramental life of the church, that the culture of death that surrounds us today will be replaced by a culture of life and love. “

* May we pray for the unborn and women experiencing unwanted pregnancies through the Lenten Season.
