Holy Innocents Pro-Life Action Group is a network of all four Catholic Churches in Elkhart County:

  • St. Thomas the Apostle (Elkhart)

  • St. Vincent de Paul (Elkhart)

  • St. Mary’s (Bristol)

  • St. John’s (Goshen)

OUR MISSION is to defend life from the moment of conception to natural death.

We prayerfully and actively strive toward accomplishing our mission by various activities and fundraisers.

  • Pray (always)

  • Offer monthly Masses for the intention to end abortion and the culture of death.

  • Pray at the memory crosses placed at Catholic churches.

  • Hold monthly Life Chains at the corner of Bristol and Main St., Elkhart, first Saturday of the month, 11:00am to noon.

  • Distribute Pro-Life literature

  • Work with Right to Life Michiana to coordinate the annual life chains in January and October

  • Support pregnancy resource centers: Women's Care Center, RETA (Reason Enough to Act) in Elkhart and Hannah's House in Mishawaka, as well as a post abortion ministry, through monetary donations .

MEETINGS: Our members work closely with Right to Life Michiana. 

On January 1, 2020, Elkhart County Right to Life  and St. Joe County Right to Life merged to create a more powerful and united regional Right to Life affiliate and became Right to Life Michiana. 

The monthly Life Chain with silent prayer and quiet witness along Bristol Street next to St. Thomas takes place every first Saturday from 11:00 am until noon. Signs are provided. We end with a spontaneous prayer.  Thank you for your prayers and for your willingness to be a witness to our community on behalf of the unborn who need you very much.
