Our Mission

The Pro-Life Committee of Chautauqua County (PLCCC) promotes events that recognize the sanctity of God-given life. PLCCC draws attention to the fundamental wrong of abortion, and the need to end it in this country. We spread the news of God’s willingness to forgive any and all who have participated in the abortion process and seek reconciliation with God. We encourage prayer to accomplish these ends.

Our Lady of Guadalupe Pray for Us!

 The PLCCC includes the parishes of the greater Chautauqua County vicariate, including Westfield, Brocton, Fredonia, Dunkirk, Forestville, Silver Creek, and Jamestown.

We raise awareness of the Right to Life Issue through:

  • Promoting the March for Life in Washington DC
  • Pilgrimage for Life Novena to mark Roe v. Wade
  • Divine Mercy Novena for Life during Easter Season
  • Cemetery of Innocents during May
  • Collecting baby items to donate to mothers in need
  • Sponsoring Pro-Life events
  • Encouraging participation in Prayer Vigils at local clinics

A satellite office of the Diocese of Buffalo, St. Gianna Pregnancy Outreach Center is now open in Fredonia. The center provides material, emotional and spiritual support to needy single mothers and young families during pregnancy and through the first years of life. The Fredonia office of St. Gianna Center is located on the grounds of St. Anthony Church.
