Students for Human Life
"Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being’s entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign."
~ Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta
Students for Human Life consists of BSM students who are concerned for life issues in our world. Students are concerned for all life issues, and this year will specifically work around the issues of abortion, the death penalty, and war. Students acknowledge the need to advocate for life at all of its stages and pursue a variety of avenues to do this.
Good things happening this year:
- Continued work with North Side Life Care Center. Learn more about NSLCC at: www.northsidelifecare.org.

- Gatherings with students around the archdiocese to discuss life issues as a larger engaged community.
- Weekly trips to the Peace Bridge as a visible sign of prayerful unity around issues of peace.
