Every human person is created in the image and likeness of God. With Christ's love, the Diocese of Gaylord's Family Life and Respect Life Office is here to serve you. We offer a variety of opportunities for people to grow closer in relationship to Christ through marriage preparation classes and retreats, family life support and enrichment, respect life information and activities, opportunities to learn Natural Family Planning, education in St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body, and continued efforts to help all grow in awareness of the beauty and dignity of every human person.
Be a Witness for Life!
Every January, pro-lifers across the Diocese of Gaylord take a public stance against abortion. Parishioners from various parishes hold either local marches or prayer services. For more information, reach out to your local parish.
Respect Life Month
"God made each of us in his own image and likeness. He desires to be united with us forever in a loving relationship. God loves us, treats us with respect, and asks us to do the same with others. Every person is sacred and must be treated with the dignity they deserve. No one should ever be treated callously or carelessly—everyone should be cherished and protected!" - Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan
Each of us is a masterpiece of God's creation. Observed since 1972, October is Respect Life Month, which celebrates the dignity of the human person, from conception to natural death. To learn more about Respect Life Month and find pro-life resources, visit www.respectlife.org or contact the diocese at 989-732-5147.
