Truth Illuminated

 

Pro-Life?...Join the Club!

Are you interested in starting a Truth Illuminated chapter at your parish or school this year?

We are...

...an energetic and fun pro-life ministry made up of teens from local Catholic parishes and high schools, co-sponsored by the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph and the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas.

Our focus is...

...educating teens on pro-life issues to foster a respect for the sanctity of all human life from the moment of conception until natural death

...prayer by embracing the Gospel of Life and our spirituality is both Eucharistic and Marian

...pastoral care by complementing existing high school youth and pro-life outreach programs

...public policy advocacy by empowering and engaging teens to make a difference in the battle for life by… “takin’ it to the streets!”
