It’s All About Life

“NO MATTER WHAT…
NO MATTER WHEN…
BLACK CATHOLICS RESPECT LIFE”

 
A Tribute to African American Women

The National Black Catholic Apostolate for Life salutes African American Women.  During the month of May dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, let us as Black Catholics pray in a special way for our
“Women of Life and Faith”.

 

African American Women of Life and Faith
You touch our life
with the gift of life…
You touch our life
with your caring spirit…
You touch our life
with your steadfast hope…
You touch our life
with your unwavering faith…
You bless us just by being you.
Thank you for nurturing our souls in a weary land.

     

       NBCAL invites all
 “Women of Faith and Life”
to participate in the Second National Gathering for Black Catholic Women

The National Black Catholic Apostolate for life is not silent
on the issue of abortion.

The killing of innocent lives is never justified, and will never be acceptable behavior in our community.  Every abortion ends life. 
All life is sacred and must be protected.

As defenders of life we stand firmly on the side of life. 
We are by word and example, praying, proclaiming, and promoting the Gospel of Life.
