"Above all, the common outcry, which is justly made on behalf of human rights -- for example, the right to health, to home, to work, to family, to culture -- is false and illusory if the right to life, the most basic and fundamental right and the condition for all other personal rights, is not defended with maximum determination"
--John Paul II

Takin' it to the streets!

Are you interested in starting a Truth Illuminated chapter at your parish or school this year?

Who We Are
Truth Illuminated is an energetic and fun pro-life ministry for teens sponsored by both Kansas City Catholic dioceses. Our activities are focused around the four key areas of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities which are: prayer, education, pastoral care, and public policy. We embrace The Gospel of Life and our spirituality is Eucharistic and Marian. We are comprised of local chapters based in parishes or Catholic schools with each chapter including adult leaders. We are complementary to existing high school youth groups and pro-life groups.

Our Mission
Our mission is to educate teens on the life issues, to foster a respect and love for life from the moment of conception until natural death, and to empower and engage teens to make a difference through public witness in the battle for life by takin’ it to the streets.
