	`May the Catholic Diocese of Belleville be a witness to human dignity in all stages and circumstances. May we protect and defend it against all assaults, and nurture and celebrate it through all transitions and milestones. May we be quick to recognize Jesus in the poor, the weak, the vulnerable, the lonely, and the person with whom we need to be reconciled. Because of the witness of our love for one another, may people be drawn to the love of the Father. Amen.`	*The Respect Life Ministry is a member agency of CCSIL, click below to learn more!*
