Join us each First Friday of the Month at Holy Family Church in Lewiston for an evening of prayer, mercy, and fellowship—all offered in reparation and intercession for the protection of human life.
5:00 PM — Confessions
6:00 PM — Holy Mass (First Friday Devotion)
7:00 PM — Simple Meal & Fellowship (Hall downstairs)
This monthly gathering is rooted in the Sacred Heart of Jesus—a heart that beats for the poor, the forgotten, the unborn, the elderly, and the suffering. Together, we offer our prayers and sacrifices for the conversion of hearts and the building of a culture of life.
All are welcome. Families, teens, individuals—come and bring your love for Christ and your desire to defend the dignity of life from womb to tomb.
“The Eucharist is the sacrament of love: It signifies love, it produces love.”
— St. Thomas Aquinas
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” —Jeremiah 1:5
Every human life is a gift from God—created in His image, cherished, and unrepeatable. At Prince of Peace Parish, our Respect Life Ministry seeks to uphold and proclaim this truth in love: that every person, no matter how small, how old, or how broken, is sacred
What We Do
Our pro-life mission is rooted in prayer, education, outreach, and presence. Together, we:
Pray for the protection of all life—especially the unborn and the vulnerable.
Support women and families facing unexpected pregnancies with compassion and practical resources.
Witness peacefully at local abortion clinics through 40 Days for Life and sidewalk prayer.
Educate ourselves and others on the Church’s teachings and the deeper issues surrounding life and dignity.
Accompany the suffering—offering hope and healing after abortion, and walking with those near the end of life.
You don’t need to be an expert to join us—just a heart willing to stand for life, in love.
