The St. Paul Respect Life Team promotes a culture of life, an ethic that life begins at the moment of conception and ends at natural death. We participate in Diocesan sponsored pro-life programs and coordinate parish respect-life activities. Our ministry is guided by our Pastor, Fr. Pat Jakel, and Bishop Paprocki & the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois – Office for Pro Life Activities and Special Ministries in alignment with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities.
