Respect Life

This group strives to become God’s instrument of life for the parish and local community.  Members work to make others aware of the sanctity of all life and to prevent the deterioration of moral values evident in the practice of stem cell research, cloning, abortion, infanticide, assisted suicide, euthanasia, and capital punishment.  Activities include monthly meetings in the Cottage, writing letters to politicians and news media, witnessing at Planned Parenthood and abortion clinic locales, supporting a pregnant mother and newborn, infant clothing collection, Good Friday pilgrimage and Stations of the Cross, and an annual Night of Prayer for Life on December 8th.

As with all Ministries at Our Lady of the Snow, interested parishioners must fill out appropriate volunteer forms, complete Virtus and ministry training.

As part of the OLS Respect Life Ministry’s new initiative, “Walking with Moms in Need,” over 50 packages of diapers were collected and donated to Women First Pregnancy Options of Smithtown, a pregnancy care center led by The Life Center of Long Island. Thank you to our very generous parishioners! 

Thank you to all who attended the 2020 Rosary Coast to Coast event at Corey Beach on October 11th.  About 60 parishioners came to pray a Rosary for our country, our communities, and our beautiful parish family. Here are some pictures from the event, courtesy of Greg Shemitz from the Catholic News Agency.
