Priests For Life Coordinates Ad Campaign With Local Dioceses
Fr. Frank Pavone, Director of Priests for Life, recently announced a new ad
campaign designed to reach out to women and men who are suffering because of a
personal abortion experience. The ads will utilize TV, radio, billboards and
print media. Four newly produced TV ads were recently
premiered at National Right to Life's Proudly Pro-Life Dinner at
which Fr. Pavone was honored for his pro-life work through Priests for Life. The
ads were designed to appeal to those who were suffering from abortion and ended
with the statement, "The doors of the Church are open."
Priests for Life ads will be run in selected areas in coordination with
existing Diocesan post-abortion programs such as Project-Rachel. The
coordination of the ad campaign with diocesan programs will ensure maximum
effectiveness of the ads on a local level.
Fr. Pavone praised the coordination effort, stating that "Priests for Life
will continue to work in harmony with the goals of the bishops, both nationally
and at the diocesan level."
In joint similar press releases, Priests for Life and the United States
Conference of Catholic Bishops' Secretariat for Pro-Life Activities praised the
work being done by all those who serve the church through post-abortion
ministry.
William Cardinal Keeler, Chairman of the Bishops Committee for Pro-Life
Activities, after meeting with Fr. Pavone, expressed his gratitude and that of
the Pro-Life Committee to Fr. Pavone and those who work with him. He also called
attention to the "enormous success of the Church's outreach to those harmed by
abortion." Cardinal Keeler also said that he and the Pro-Life Committee and
staff "look forward to working more closely with Priests for Life in the
future."
