Media Release 13 November 2025
Right to Life congratulates the John Paul II Centre for Life on its celebration of twenty years since it began building in our community a culture of life, marriage and family.
The Centre has faithfully upheld the teachings of the 1968 papal encyclical Humanae Vitae (Of Human Life) of Pope Paul VI. This important encyclical promotes the dignity of women and men and marriage. It opposes contraception, abortion and sterilisation, which all violate the natural law, and objectify women, reducing them to mere bodily objects for men’s pleasure.
The centre provides generous support and counselling for families experiencing the loss of a child through miscarriage, stillbirth or abortion. Their staff provide courses on marriage preparation, and for married couples dealing with the pain of infertility.
The John Paul II Centre for Life is a charitable trust which is at the forefront of our community in promoting a culture of life which respects the right to life of every human being, from conception until natural death.
Right to Life believes that the centre deserves the generous financial support of the community, to enable it to continue promoting the dignity of women, and the importance of the natural family, ordained by God as being exclusively one woman and one man.
Right to Life is committed to supporting the John Paul II Centre for Life, in promoting a culture of life and opposing a culture of death.
