Other activities include:
 Organizing Pro-life Speakers events, distributing roses on Mother's Day, for a "Roses for Life" event supporting Life Center of Santa Ana (cosponsored with our Knights of Columbus Council 8238), organizing Diaper & Onesies Drives for Pregnancy Resource Centers, coordinating a special Mass and service on the Feast of the Holy Innocents, and participating in 40 Days for Life Campaigns in Orange Co.
