The Saint James Respect Life Committee affirms and promotes the dignity and intrinsic value of all human life from conception to natural death. The committee supports and promotes the following public witness programs: newspaper ads signed by hundreds of pro-lifers; day-long Kentucky State Life Conferences; sidewalk life-chain prayer vigils; youth conferences, such as the Right To Life Rally at the State Capital; and local Clarity Solutions (clarityky.com) fundraising initiatives. The committee also supports the Kentucky Right to Life Association and the Kentucky Right to Life Heartland Association in several pro-life endeavors. To increase public awareness of the loss of the lives of nearly 3,000 babies to abortion every day in the United States, we participate annually in installing crosses for the Cemetery of the Innocents. We welcome volunteers who would like to join us in working to raise awareness of our duty to protect and defend those most vulnerable. Our committee meets monthly, normally on the first Thursday of the month. Youth may earn service hours through our various initiatives.
