The St. Thomas Community respects all life, at all stages, therefore on June 10, 1998 the Parish Council recommended and the parish at large ratified the following pledge:
Dear Friends,
We address this to all women and men who struggle with a crisis pregnancy. We want you to choose life instead of abortion, and we stand ready to try to the best of our ability to help you find the services you need. If you are young and afraid to tell your parents you are pregnant, we will go with you and help you tell them. If you are under pressure from someone else to get an abortion, we will stand with you to help you take the pressure. If you don't have transportation to get to a doctor for prenatal care, we'll drive you there and stay with you. If you can't pay for the medical services you need, we'll investigate ways to help you. If you want to place your child for adoption, we'll help make the connections. If you don't know how you will care for your child afterward, we'll help put you in touch with an agency to assist you. If you have family problems, we'll work with your family to deal with them. If you feel alone we will pray for you and with you to share God's love for you and your child.
You may not know about services that are available, and we'll help you find them. We have many agencies, such as the Catholic Family Center Adoption Services, Catholic Charities Offices in the Finger Lakes, Livingston County, and Southern Tier, Bethany House, Birthright, and the Problem Pregnancy Help Center. This parish will also try to help you and assure confidentially at all times. If you prefer just call Birthright 24 hours a day at 1-800-550-4900.
We'll also work together to get the legislation and programs and services that mothers and fathers and children and families need. We'll work on the underlying causes, including policies and attitudes towards women.
If you don't believe us, try us. We have the heart for it. We'll do what we can to help. We have many people in our community and others willing to come forward and volunteer.
We believe that every human life is worth more than the flowers of the field, the birds of the sky. And that includes your life. If you have an abortion and are struggling with guilt, we'll help too, because we care about you. (Call Project Rachel 1-888-9RACHEL) Or if you have been abused and are still troubled by that experience, we'll try to help you.
Whatever your problem, we'll try to confidentially put you in touch with a solution.
Sincerely,
The Community of St. Thomas the Apostle.
