Mission
Crossroads is a Civil Rights organization that exists in order
to help bring about a Culture of Life and defend the right to life
of all unborn children. Because any such Culture of Life must take
root in the youth of our society to truly flourish, Crossroads
especially looks to involve and challenge young people to actively
take part in bringing it about. By looking to Jesus and Mary as
role models in prayer and sacrifice, and by understanding the value
of suffering, we hope to convert hearts and minds and to save lives.
Mindful of this mission, Crossroads looks to the following statement
made by the Church in the Catholic Catechism:
"Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from
the moment of conception. From the first moment of his existence,
a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person
- among which is the inviolable right of every innocent being
to life."
-CCC 2270
Religious Stance
Crossroads is a Civil Rights organization that is faithful to
the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. With this in mind,
Crossroads welcomes and encourages members of all faiths to participate
in its activities, noting that all are charged with the duty to
defend the sanctity and dignity of all human life from its very
beginnings in the womb to natural death.
