“You formed my inmost being; You knit me in my mother’s womb. I praise You, so wonderfully You made me; wonderful are Your works. My very self You knew;” – Psalms 139:13-14
All across our nation, thousands of people in communities just like yours are courageously standing up to protect human life. The time is NOW — this is our chance to stand up for the unborn, for the sick, the poor, and the most vulnerable among us.
Parish Respect Life Representatives
The parish Respect Life representative is the link between the Diocesan Respect Life Ministry and the parish. The parish representatives work with their pastor, and parish committee to find creative, inventive and effective ways to proclaim the Gospel of Life to their parish community. If you are interested in becoming a part of your Parish Respect Life Committee, please contact your parish office. They will direct you to your parish's Respect Life Representative. If your parish does not have an assigned Respect Life Representative, please contact Rachel Hendricks at rhendr@dioceseoftrenton.org or 609-403-7192.
The Parish Reps gather twice a year, by County, in the Fall and Spring with the Diocesan Coordinator for Respect Life. At these important gatherings, we hear about diocesan efforts and initiatives, learn about important issues, deepen our understanding about an array of life issues and share good practices and ideas with other liike-minded parish ministry folks!!

Respect Life Ministry will email 'Action Alerts' to parish representatives and respect life contacts in reference to timely issues, where prompt action is needed in order to affect upcoming legislation. These 'Action Alerts' usually originate from the NJ Catholic Conference of Bishops or Human Life Action, which works closely with the US Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Anyone can sign up for these 'Action Alerts' directly using the links below.
Be the first to learn about new action alerts that impact the dignity of all human life!
