Catholic Pro-Life Ministries in New Mexico

Be a pro-life hero!

Almost all abortions are performed on healthy moms and healthy babies, usually because the mom feels she has no other choice.

Please help us give moms a better choice than abortion. Please join us in our work by volunteering for one of our many pro-life ministries. Contact one of the people listed on this page and become a pro-life hero to moms and babies in New Mexico!

Prayer and a Pro-Life Witness

(A ministry sponsored by Project Defending Life)

Bud and Tara are working to organize a constant peaceful and prayerful presence at local abortion clinics and several other proven strategies, in an effort to end abortion in New Mexico. They are also reaching out to the Christian community to educate, activate, and encourage them to stand for life. Our ministry is Christ centered and grace filled. There are many ways to get involved, our prayer is that you will join us in our life saving ministry. prayerandaprolifewitness.blogspot.com

Project Defending Life’s Public Witness Ministry is focused on bringing an awareness to the injustice of abortion out in the public arena through organized public events, conferences, and concerts.

The Moms Ministry at Project Defending Life offers a parenting program for our new moms every Wednesday evening. We encourage all pregnant moms to attend the classes. The class is divided into two parts; first we teach ‘nurturing care’ to educate our moms in the dynamics, discipline, joys and challenges of parenting and healthy relationships. The second part of the class is directed by a deacon who informs our moms of the truths of daily living in our world today incorporating information and knowledge on virtues, the commandments and beatitudes, parables, daily living of the gospel, baptism and sacraments . The program has certainly grown over the past 4 years. We now have on average 23 parents attending the class.


Helpers of God's Precious Infants

We pray outside local abortion mills to intercede for the babies and provide direct assistance to the moms. Check the PDL Calendar for this month’s Mass, Procession and Prayer Vigil.


Youth Outreach

Pro-Life Apologetics Training. Ever wonder what to say when faced with hard questions like “What about rape?” or “I think abortion should be allowed if the woman’s too poor”? Learn how to lovingly defend the pro-life message and bring a living face to the innocent unborn with our pro-life apologetics seminars and mentor training.


40 Days for Life

40 Days for Life takes a determined, peaceful approach to showing local communities the consequences of abortion in their own neighborhoods, for their own friends and families. Through prayer, fasting and constant vigil it puts into action a desire to cooperate with God in the carrying out of His plan for the end of abortion in America.
