Human Trafficking

HT takes place in many different ways and situations: sexual exploitation, forced marriage, slave labor, servitude, forced begging, organ-harvesting, reproductive exploitation and other forms of abuse and exploitation. “... the true solution is the conversion of hearts, cutting off demand in order to dry out the market.” Pope Francis, World Day of Prayer, Reflection and Action against Human Trafficking, 12 February 2018

Natural Family Planning

NFP methods are based on the observation of the naturally occurring signs and symptoms of the fertile and infertile phases of a woman’s menstrual cycle. Since the methods of respect the love-giving and life-giving nature of the conjugal act, they support God’s design for married love! Introduction classes are held once a month.

Annual March for Life Demonstrations

The primary demonstrations take place in Washington, D.C. and San Francisco, the Friday closest to the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion on demand (January 22). Our high school students are invited to participate. All are welcome to join us at the annual Diocese of Phoenix March for Life in downtown Phoenix.

Tomb of the Unborn Child

All are welcome to come and pray at the Tomb of the Unborn Child located outside our Adoration Chapel on the east side of the property. We encourage all to use this space to pray for an end to abortion and for healing for those who are suffering from the effects of abortion in their own lives.
