Respect For Life

The Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee pledges its
commitment to honor and respect life at all stages
from conception to natural death.

“It is impossible to further the common good without acknowledging and defending the right to life, upon which all the other inalienable rights of individuals are founded and from which they develop. A society lacks solid foundations when, on the one hand, it asserts values such as the dignity of the person, justice and peace, but then, on the other hand, radically acts to the contrary by allowing or tolerating a variety of ways in which human life is devalued and violated, especially where it is weak or marginalized. Only respect for life can be the foundation and guarantee of the most precious and essential goods of society, such as democracy and peace.”

- Pope John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae (1995), no. 101

Each parish has a variety of pro-life activities and initiatives, from prayer to prison ministry, from advocacy for the unborn to outreach to the ill and elderly.
