The purpose of Teens for Life, a pro-life organization, is to provide students with the opportunity to express their belief in and to participate in activities that promote protecting, supporting, and sustaining all life from conception to natural death.

During meetings, which are held during designated study hall periods, members learn about and discuss pro-life issues and related current events such as abortion, euthanasia, war, poverty, and genetic cloning.  In addition, members donate to crisis pregnancy organizations, create sidewalk art in celebration of Respect Life Month (October), and attend prayer vigils at the Clinton County Courthouse and a local abortion clinic.  Members host various fundraising events to support their activities.  Finally, many Teens for Life members attend the annual March for Life held in Washington, D.C., or the March for Life held in Springfield.

All Mater Dei students are welcome to join Teens for Life at any time throughout the year.
