Dear Friends:
Welcome to the Respect Life webpage. We are honored to be the first lay couple to head this office. Formerly, a diocesan priest performed these duties.
We live in Saranac Lake and are the proud parents of three daughters: Amanda, a DeSales University student double-majoring in Theology and Marriage & Family, Erin, a high school junior and Ellen, a sixth grader at St. Agnes School.
We have been involved
in the Pro-Life arena for several years. We have led a group to the DC March
for Life for the past nine years as well as the Plattsburgh March for Life.
We have planned and taken part in several Planned Parenthood pickets, LIFECHAINS and pro-life events that witness to the sanctity of all human
life. We have worked at the Champlain Valley Right to Life Clinton County
Fair booth. We actively fundraise for crisis pregnancy centers and strive to
promote an awareness of life issues to the public by means of letters to the
editor. We also conduct respect life workshops in order to educate the
youth.
John is an investigator with the NYS Police Computer Crimes Unit . He is a
Fourth Degree Knight of Columbus and a member of the Diocesan Pastoral
Council. Colleen is a reporter and photographer for the North Country Catholic Newspaper and has written several articles for
catholicexchange.com.
We’re both active in
youth ministry and have led groups to World Youth Day Toronto and Germany.
Please to not hesitate
to contact us with any questions or news you may have concerning Respect
Life. We will do our best to keep those in the Diocese informed of pro-life
happenings and issues via their pastors, this web page and the North
Country Catholic, diocesan newspaper. We’d like to thank the Bishop for
allowing us to fill this important role.
