About USCCB People of Life
About USCCB People of Life
In his well-known pro-life encyclical, The Gospel of Life (Evangelium vitae), Saint John Paul II called us to be a “people of life and for life.”
Drawing its name from the Holy Father’s invitation, the People of Life campaign supports the Church’s efforts to cultivate respect for all human life, from the moment of conception until natural death.
As the Pro-Life Action Campaign of the Catholic Church in the United States, People of Life serves the Church's mission to proclaim that each human life is a precious gift from God and works to build a culture that respects and protects all human life, especially unborn children and their mothers.
Your gift supports the Church's efforts to educate on pro-life issues, encourage pro-life prayer and worship, provide pastoral care to those in need, and advocate for the protection of all human life.
We invite people like you—People of Life—to join us in this important work.
“We are the people of life because God, in his unconditional love, has given us the Gospel of Life… and we are called to act accordingly…”
—Saint John Paul II, Evangelium vitae 79
