Mission Statement:

In response to the Gospel, we the members of the Pro Life Ministry of St. Ann Catholic Church, commit ourselves to doing every action to protect the sanctity of all life from conception to natural death. We are dedicated to promoting the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church on all issues concerning life. We seek to foster awareness on all life issues, including abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide and stem cell research.

Contact: Bernadette Roy (317) 650-2920

Birthline:

St. Ann's Coordinator: Ginny Angermeier

Birthline Ministry services over 2000 women and babies annually. Obviously this is a huge task and cannot be done without the generosity of numerous individuals and organizations. Birthline needs just about anything that an infant can use, as long as it is clean and in good condition; i.e. all kinds of clothing for infants from birth up to size 4T. Portable cribs, car seats, high chairs, strollers, diapers, wipes and formula are in continuous need. Maternity clothing of all sizes are also needed. Deliveries can be made on Monday and Wednesday after calling Sr. Diane at 236-1521. Financial contributions are also needed and greatly appreciated.
Monetary donations can be made using a credit card online at www.archindy/prolife or mailed to the Office for Pro-Life Ministry, 1400 N. Meridian St. Indianapolis, IN 46202
