The Church teaches that work has its final goal in the human person. In other words, people are not to be considered as just cogs in a wheel of productivity. Work exists for people; it is an expression of the person and builds up his or her dignity. This is a key conviction in a Culture of Life. Prayer
Lord, thank You for the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. Upcoming Events
Next SJA Pro-Life meeting: January 18 at 7pm in the Parish Center
Our life centers offer free pregnancy tests, limited-ultrasound, material assistance, parenting and mothering programs, post-abortive programs and free consultations for women who are experiencing unplanned pregnancies. Woman’s Choice Services, with facilities currently located in Downers Grove, Hinsdale, Lombard, and now in Crest Hill, was founded by Fr. Thomas Milota, the former Director of the Life Office for the Diocese of Joliet. Offering positive choices and support to these women in need requires many volunteers to help serve these women!!!
