Executive Summary Results You may recall earlier in the year we gathered feedback from Saint James

Parishioners so as to learn how we can work more effectively in leading each other closer to Christ, in relationship to one to another, and to live out the

Gospel message in all ministries at Saint James Church. Those of you who want to access the results of this survey online can find it on our parish website

by selecting Parish Pastoral Council under the about us tab.

There are also hard copies of the Executive Survey at the front desk in the parish office.

HISPANIC MINISTRY PARISH LIFE

25 Years of the Gospel of Life, part 2 “Despite the grave threats to human life in

the modern world, we, as the People of God, are called to place our faith in Jesus,

the “Word of life” (1 Jn 1:1). As Christians, we have received the full truth about human life as proclaimed by the very person of Jesus. In sharing in the lowliest and most vulnerable conditions of human life—even death on a cross—Jesus shows us that life is always

good. The true meaning of our lives is found in giving and receiving love. It is only through this understanding

of a sincere gift of self that human sexuality and procreation reach their true and full significance.

God holds the lives of all people in his gentle and loving care, giving meaning and value to any sufferings that we

bear. Even within the mystery which surrounds suffering and death, these experiences can become saving events as we unite them with Christ’s own

sacrifice. By making human life the instrument of our salvation, the Son of God shows us the

priceless value of human life.

Although the roots of violence against life are not new—going all the way back to Genesis, when Cain took

the life of his brother Abel—our modern world is now suffering under a culture of death. Scientific and

technological advances and an increasingly secularized world have led to an eclipse of the value of human life.

However, respect for life requires that science and technology should always be at the service of the

human person and his integral development. We must reject systems of structuralized sin which value

efficiency and productivity over human persons.”
