Are you ready to take a stand on the moral issues associated with the destruction of life? The Respect Life Society of St. Augustine’s is a newly formed group of folks just like yourself who want to “make a difference” in trying to make people realize how horrible the sin of abortion is and how valuable the gift of life is that we have received from God. Our role is simple…through prayer and determination we can change the true meaning of life not as a choice but as a gift from God.
