The Respect Life Ministry (RLM) of St. Elizabeth celebrates the God-given dignity of all human life, from conception to natural death. We are dedicated to observing and promoting the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church on all life issues, including abortion, capital punishment, suicide, and assisted suicide, among others. Through prayer, education, and action, our ministry hopes to strengthen a culture of life at St. Elizabeth and throughout our community. 

We sponsor different activities throughout the year. We pray a Rosary for Life every month and invite all the parish to join us. During October and during Lent, we join with other area churches to pray during the 40 Days for Life vigil in Overland Park. We also coordinate drives to collect needed items for local maternity homes. We hold our annual “Have a Heart for Moms in Need” drive each spring. This drive benefits Mother’s Refuge and St. Mary’s Home for Mothers. We also sponsor the Mother’s Day Carnations.
