We have a Respect Life Committee at Saint Celestine Parish.
The purpose of this committee will be to promote activities and / or articles to help understand issues dealing with respecting life. When we are organized we hope to better understand the following:
"Speak up those who cannot speak for themselves."
If you would like more information, please call Mary Zyk, Co-Chair at 708-452-9694 or Father Jeffrey at the Pastoral Center at 708-453-2555.
The Women's Centers
 Our committee has chosen to take on a project that will be dealing with The Women's Centers. More information can be found in their website at www.womens-center.org.
The Women's Centers of Greater Chicagoland are committed to saving babies from death by abortion and their mothers from a lifetime of regret. They help women get to a place of self-respect, support, confidence and forgiveness. Approximately 60% of the abortion bound women who come to the center decide to choose life for their babies after discussing their situation.
The services they provide are:
- Crisis intervention counseling
- Licensed-mental health counseling
- Free pregnancy tests
- Free ultra-sound services
- Post-abortion counseling
- Sexual integrity counseling
- Material goods assistance
- Emergency financial help
- Information and referrals for financial, employment, educational, housing, medical and relational concerns.
The Women's Center is a "preferred Provider" of the Chicago Archdiocesan Respect Life Office.
