The Committee serves to promote and enhance the value of all human life by educating and organizing the parishioners to be an effective voice for this purpose. The Respect Life Committee promotes pro-life awareness and involvement with the Mother's Day Baby Shower, the Christmas Giving Tree and the Spiritual Adoption Program. Parishioners are encouraged to take a stand through alerts of pro-life legislation and activities such as Life Chain, March for Life, Rally for Life and the National Night of Prayer for Life by praying the rosary. Future plans would include providing prolife presentations to promote an understanding and respect for God's greatest gift - LIFE!
SPIRITUAL ADOPTION PROGRAM
Everyone loves the beauty and innocence of a baby. As an expression of that love, Holy Trinity announces an adoption program for young and old alike. Not all newly conceived babies are allowed to be born. In fact, more than 3,000 babies lose their lives to abortion each day and in NJ they can be aborted through all nine months of pregnancy. It is these babies you are being asked to “adopt”. You may “adopt” a child individually or as a family. You may name the child for whom you will be praying, thereby giving the baby the humanity he or she deserves. You will be asked to pray for your unborn child and for all unborn children, for the power of prayer is great. You will receive monthly reports through the parish bulletin describing your baby’s development. There are millions of unborn babies desperately in need of your prayers. Won’t you please spiritually adopt a baby today and share the love for life that God has given you.
