How do we serve?Do you love life? We do! And babies! As the great Pope Saint John Paul II once said, "The ultimate test of your greatness is the way you treat every human being". Each year, the Respect Life Coordinators plan a 3-night, 4-day trip to Washington, D.C. to participate in the March For Life. The March For Life is an annual, peaceful walk from the National Mall to the Capitol building in protest of Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion in all 50 states in 1973. In addition, we also plan and organize the annual participation in 40 Days for Life, participate in the annual Walk for Life held in Tallahassee, and attend the annual pro-life dinner held in the fall hosted by Open Door Women's Clinic, a pro-life clinic for women.
