Under the protection of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patroness of the Unborn, and inspired by the witness of Mother Teresa, this student led group seeks to:

• empower Leadership for life
• proclaim the truth in love by communicating correct Information about life issues
• witness to faith-filled Friendship with God and others
• be a source of Encouragement for all who believe that all life, from cradle to grave is sacred.

BECA students for life held its first meeting on January 29, 2001. Each year has brought growth and commitment to life.  In August 2005, a core group of students held a brain-storming session which set in motion the activities for the 2005-06 school year. Mrs. Maryellen White and Sister Margaret Edmund, SSJ are the adult advisors. Room 209 is the monthly meeting place and a clearing house for Pro-life material. Beca Students for Life welcome students of all grade levels and creeds who are willing to stand up for life. "Sign ups" take place on Freshman Registration Night, at the first announced meeting and at any time during the school year.
