Ave Maria for Life promotes the dignity of all human life, from conception until natural death. We seek to protect the most vulnerable members of our society including the unborn, the handicapped, the elderly, the terminally ill and the imprisoned facing capital punishment. we work within the parish and the community through prayer, pastoral care, education and public policy to change the hearts and minds of people and to develop a culture of life. We do this by hosting speakers, showing films, raising awareness of legislation, promoting 40 Days for Life & Life Chain, holding monthly prayer vigils, supporting local crisis pregnancy centers, honoring mothers and fathers, and celebrating Respect Life month and Sanctity of Human Life Sunday with the Ave Maria parish community.

St. Vincent de Paul Society is a challenging but rewarding ministry that has a dual focus. First and foremost, it is a small faith community where each member grows dramatically in their faith through spiritual reflections shared with each other and through discovering the face of Christ in the people they serve. Their second focus is to assist those in need, through home visits, direct financial assistance and referrals to other charitable agencies.
