The Knights of Columbus Culture of Life Program promotes respect for all life here at St. Timothy Catholic Church and throughout the community. We strive to encourage LIFE through prayer and a variety of events which are open to our entire parish.
Annual Activities
40 Days for Life Prayer Vigil:
These world-wide prayer vigils take place twice each year. The Fall Prayer Vigil to end abortion takes place during Respect Life Month (October) and the Spring Prayer Vigil coincides with Lent. During 40 Days for Life, parishioners are invited to join us for prayer outside the Tempe, AZ Planned Parenthood location and at the nearby Aid to Women Center. Our scheduled Parish prayer time is 9:30-11am Saturdays. Typically, the Blessed Sacrament is exposed in the Chapel of the Aid to Women Center during this time. (The Chapel is on the other side of the PPH wall).
Baby Bottle Drive:
Our Annual Baby Bottle Drive provides major funding for Aid to Women Center who minister to the unborn and their parents. Empty bottles are passed out in early October and returned with donations the end of the month. With the help and prayers of the community, the Aid to Women Center continues to save more and more babies every year and is a blessing to expecting mothers who may have few or no resources.
Culture of Life Lecture Series:
Each January these talks provide timely information to parishioners. Past topics have included: Foster Care, Adoption, End of Life Directives, Internet Safety, Abortion and Pro-Life Issues. Our speakers are well informed experts in their fields.
Clothesline Drive for Maggie’s Place:
In the Sping we sponsor a Clothesline Drive requesting donations of diapers, wipes, clothes, toiletries and pillows for Maggie’s Place, hospitality homes for pregnant & new mothers.
Special Projects:
We support specific projects of a Pro-Life nature by individuals or other ministries at St. Timothy’s.
The Culture of Life Advisory Board consists of men, women, and teens (who may or may not be associated with K of C). Our Board grew from the Sanctity of Life Ministry which has been active since the early years of the Parish. The board meets on an as-needed basis.
