Right to Life

One member of the St. Linus Christian Service Commission represents Right to Life of Michigan, a nonpartisan, nonsectarian, nonprofit organization dedicated to the protection of human life from fertilization to natural death.

Right to Life strives to educate people on life issues, to motivate them to action, and to encourage community support for participation in programs and legislation that foster respect and protection for human life.

Our Right to Life representative at St. Linus
• Organizes fundraisers each year that benefit life causes (the sale of silk roses on Mother’s Day, “Baby Bottle Boomerang” from Mother’s Day to Father’s Day each year; and the sale of Right to Life Greeting cards each Christmas);
• Solicits support for the annual “40 Days for Life” campaign each fall during which parishioners picket and pray outside an abortion clinic in Dearborn;
• Encourages participation in a “Life Chain” on the first Sunday in October in which church members from throughout the metropolitan area line major highways with signs that support the cause of life;
• Keeps Christian Service members and parishioners informed of legislation and election proposals that affect issues of life and death.

Income generated by the Right to Life fundraisers is donated to local centers that assist pregnant women and provide diapers, formula and other items for newborns.
