Who We Are
We are Catholics committed to deepening devotion to the powerful and unique title of “Our Lady of Life,” rooted in the Annunciation, when the Blessed Virgin Mary gave her profound "fiat" to become the Mother of Christ. This ancient title embodies the sanctity of life, honoring Mary as the protector and advocate for all human life.
Through education, prayer, and outreach, we strive to raise awareness of this sacred title and its significance in today’s world. By fostering devotion and spreading the message of hope, we inspire hearts to embrace the dignity of life and trust in Mary’s intercession.

Spread Devotion
Through prayer and devotion, we place Our Lady at the heart of family life, where love for life is first learned. Honoring Mary’s fiat, we invite all people to say yes to faith and to life. Through her intercession, women facing difficult pregnancies have welcomed healthy children, and Our Lady of Life continues to draw communities into reverence for every human life.

Prayer
Through prayer and the placement of Marian statues, we help families establish home shrines, placing Our Lady at the heart of family life where love for life is first learned.
Each Friday, we pray peacefully outside Planned Parenthood, entrusting mothers, fathers, and children to Christ through Mary, and proclaiming the dignity of life from conception to natural death.

Educate
We are devoted to educating others, especially the youth, on the sacred dignity of every human life. We are developing pro life curriculum for use in parishes and Catholic schools, alongside school presentations and community outreach.
Through these efforts, we share Mary’s message of hope and her call to cherish life as a gift from God. We provide prayer cards and educational resources that invite hearts to say yes with Mary, yes to faith, yes to life, and yes to the love of Christ present in every human person.

Donate to Make a Difference
At Our Lady of Life, we support life in all stages which is why we support Abode for Children, a Catholic orphanage in India, by donating funds to rescue children from slavery and human trafficking. These children are not only given safety and shelter, they’re formed in the Catholic faith and loved as sons and daughters of God. Many are now discerning vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Through your support, we are saving lives and raising saints.
