Priests for Life continues to expand its educational activities promoting the
culture of life - - helping to help protect innocent human life from abortion
and restoring respect for all human life.
Based on Pope John Paul II's call for a culture of life and the American
Catholic Bishops 2003 statement,
Faithful Citizenship: A Catholic Call to Political Responsibility,
Priests for Life has developed a variety of new educational materials to help
protect innocent human life from abortion, infanticide, physician assisted
suicide, embryonic stem cell research, and euthanasia.
Recently, Priests for Life has introduced a new video called
Defending Life Series 2004, which contains 13 half-hour TV programs recorded
for the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN). These programs feature a variety
of pro-life leaders and focus on how Christians can help create a culture of
life in their local community.
Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, also serves as
President of the
National Pro-Life Religious Council
(NPRC) which is an association of pro-life groups working within a variety of
different religious denominations. NPRC is a growing vibrant association which
has recently added several new groups, including two groups that work within the
African-American community.
In addition, Priests for Life helped found and is continuing to support the
Silent No More group which is made up of women who have experienced the
personal tragedy of abortion.
Another important addition to Fr. Pavone's activities is a pro-life outreach
to the broader Christian community through a weekly pro-life program entitled
the
Gospel of Life, which is
aired on the Sky Angel television network. This program, featuring a variety of
guests, focuses on the full range of culture of life issues and is having a
dramatic impact on American Christians.
