"God bless your Apostolate for Life...God bless Priests for Life"
--Pope John Paul II

Dear Father Frank: You-and Priests for Life-are an inspiration and blessing beyond words. The wisdom and compassion of your commentary and homilies not only challenge us to strive and persist, but you provide an enormous amount of perspective in our work to establish the culture of life.
--Congressman Chris Smith

Many thanks again for your brilliant presentation on contraception at the November 17 breakfast-meeting organized by the Catholic men’s group of the World Bank-IMF. You captured the audience with your intelligence, persuasiveness, and clarity of concepts and words.
-- Maurizio Ragazzi

"I appreciate your leadership in the ministry of reverence for life and support for priests in pastoral assignments to teach and promote the Church's teachings."
-- Most Reverend Elden Francis Curtiss, Archbishop of Omaha

In behalf of the Alliance of the Holy Family International, I would like to thank you for having made the International Clergy Retreat Seminar on the Alliance of the Two Hearts a success. Your valuable contribution has certainly made a big difference to all the priests who participated.
The Alliance of the Holy Family movement highly respects your expertise and its contribution to its family apostolate. I pray that you would continue supporting us. And as we approach the great Jubilee Year, I fervently pray that we can help bring back more souls to the Church and to the practice of the Sacraments. The Holy Mother Church needs your selfless generosity in this great time of need.
--Ricardo J. Cardinal Vidal, Archbishop of Cebu and AHFI Clergy Chairman

I write today to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous priestly service on behalf of life. Frank, your presentation was really excellent. God has gifted you with an ability to speak well and motivate people effectively. I was especially touched by the nuances you utilized in regards to the Eucharist. The two uses for the sentence "this is my body" will not be forgotten by me and your practical application of a deeper meaning of "do this in remembrance of me" will be worked into many of my own talks in the future.
--Most Reverend John McCarthy, Bishop of Austin

I have always noted that your own talks are pithy, very much to the point, very easy to listen to and extremely powerful.
I am in complete agreement with everything that His Eminence says about you in his letter of endorsement. I can only say that he chose wisely and well when he selected Father Frank Pavone to be his ambassador around the country in promotion of the pro-life message and, in particular, "Priests for Life".
-- Most Rev. James M. Moynihan Bishop of Syracuse

I have trust in the quality of materials which are prepared by Priests for Life.
-- Most Reverend Gerald M. Barbarito, Bishop of Ogdensburg

In encouraging your brother priests to become active in the Pro-Life Movement, you are greatly strengthening the efforts of the entire Church in the United States to bear witness to the Gospel of Life. May the Lord continue to bless your efforts in the years ahead.
-- James Cardinal Hickey, Archbishop[Emeritus] of Washington

I thank you for your own commitment to the sacredness of human life. Priests for Life is most important as we combat the evil of abortion and proclaim the Gospel of Life. I’ve given strong recommendations for you here.
-- Most Rev. Henry J Mansell Bishop of Buffalo

Cardinal Bevilacqua remains grateful to you and all those associated with Priests of Life for all that you do to protect and defend the sacredness of all human life from the moment of conception to natural death.
-- Reverend Michael F. Burbidge Administrative Secretary

I think your organization does a wonderful job and I am very happy to be associated with it by serving on the Board of Advisors. I look forward to many years of association.
-- Most Reverend John F. Donoghue Archbishop of Atlanta

Please know that I am honored and feel very privileged to be on the Board of Advisors and I want to commend you and all your coworkers for the marvelous job you are doing for the unborn.
-- Most Reverend James C. Timlin, D.D. Bishop of Scranton

Congratulations on the very fine growth of Priests for Life and the expansion of its service. I am happy and proud to be associated with your group. In Peoria, we are delighted to offer your newsletter in our Monthly Mailing. As the months and years go along, I know that Priests for Life will have increasing influence in informing and supporting those priests and other ministers who wish to speak up clearly and consistently for the right to life.
-- Most Reverend John J. Myers, Bishop of Peoria [Note: Archbishop Myers is now the Archbishop of Newark]

I have read your updated Mission Statement and I think everything looks positive and well developed. I both admire and am grateful for your work. Thank you so much for your generous gift of yourself and your time to the clergy and people of our diocese. You were spectacularly wonderful and we are deeply grateful.
-- Most Rev. Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap. Bishop of Rapid City [Note: Archbishop Chaput is now the Archbishop of Denver.]

It is very apparent that God is blessing the work of Priests for Life abundantly. I must also repeat my thanks to you for the Clergy Conference that you gave to the clergy of the Diocese of Corpus Christi. I am still hearing favorable comments about your talks and how you raised the consciousness among the clergy about the importance of promoting Pro-Life activities.
-- Rene H. Gracida, Bishop [Emeritus] of Corpus Christi

Re: Trucks for Life --Fr. Pavone-Thanks for sending your column to the deacon list. I try to preach often on pro-life issues. The information in this column will be very useful. Keep up the GOOD NEWS.
-- Deacon Bob Davis, Our Lady of Mt Carmel Church, Swartswood, NJ,

Very impressive web-site with great resources. May God guide this wonderful movement!
-- Deacon Mike Meismer

This evening, as I was flipping through the channels on the television, I came across the coverage of the National Right to Life Prayer Breakfast at which you were speaking. Your very straightforward speech riveted my attention, and led me to feel that somehow I need to support and participate in the excellent work of your organization. Thank you for devoting your life to this very important mission of Christ's Church. May God continue to bless your work and shine His light upon you.
-- Deacon Joseph A. Hulway, Romeo, MI

Thank you so much, Father, for all you do! You are without a doubt hero to millions of pre-born babies and one of the Church’s great treasures.
-- Rita Diller, Coordinator, Respect Life Ministries, Diocese of Amarillo

Your newsletter is great … Keep up the great work! God Bless
-- Patty Rodriguez, Diocesan Coordinator Diocese of Fresno

"Father Frank Pavone, National Director for "Priests for Life" was well received by pastors, deacons, administrators and pro-life lay people. His presentation was exceptional. Father Pavone’s talks were nothing but energizing. His remarks seemed to strike a chord in our hearts by the way he was able to convey the Church’s teaching on human life. He was able to gently expose the prevailing justifications for not being actively involved as Catholic Christians. The people…were impressed with his ability to take the human life issues, our place as Catholic Christians in the political and social struggle, and show us why we should be involved and how important our involvement and commitments can be."
-- Peggy Sinanian, Pro-Life Director of the Archdiocese of Atlanta.

I had no idea you are such a powerful preacher and insightful theologian. It's no wonder you went so far so fast.
-- Joseph Collison, Pro-Life Director, Diocese of Norwich, CT

Your stay with us here in Louisiana was most inspiring. The pastor had great reviews for you and our pro-life leadership was almost ecstatic.
--Brenda Desormeaux, Director of Pro-Life Issues, Diocese of Lafayette

I am a pastor of a large Protestant church in the San Diego area THANK YOU.....THANK YOU for having the courage to place the full-page ad in USA Today on Wed., June 13, 2001. It is extremely well done.
-- Your brother, Dr. Jim Garlow, Senior Pastor, Skyline Church, La Mesa, CA

Fr. Pavone, thanks so much for speaking at our conference. Your continued support and involvement in the work of the Institute for Religious Values has been critical to our success and even our survival. Priests For Life is the most generous organization I have ever worked with (and that includes hundreds of organizations). Thanks again.
-- Chris Gersten [Note: The Institute for Religious Values is a prolife voice within the Jewish community.]

I just want to thank you SO much for doing what you are doing and for inspiring me to DO more. I saw Patricia Ireland on the Fox News Channel tonight on the Hannity and Colmes show. She announced that "NOW" is issuing a state of emergency for women’s rights. She mentioned Priests for Life as the group she was most concerned about. SO I thought to myself, that is a group I need to look up. It’s a good thing if Ms. Ireland is worried about your organization because that means you are making her nervous. Your website is so informative and helpful. I am Protestant and I will live to see that we all join forces and restore the value of the sanctity of life! THANK YOU AGAIN for all that you do, I am so honored by your tremendous service. Let’s keep fighting the good fight because we will WIN!
-- Dana McCollum

"The best way I can describe Priests for Life is that it is ‘The Pentagon meets the Vatican.’ Priests for Life, as an organization, has all the discipline of the Pentagon and all the grace of the Vatican."
-- Rev. Robert Schenck, President, National Clergy Council; President, National Pro-life Religious Council

I am not a catholic but am a minister (female) of another denomination. First, let me applaud my catholic brothers for the great work in this area. Would it not be great if all members of Christendom could join with you in your efforts to cleanse our country of the horror of abortion? I for one am in your corner -- keep up the good work. I may have differing views on doctrine, however, here is one place we can be united before the world.
--Rev. Dorothy Dauphinee

Thank you all for the hard work and strong commitment concerning "Pro-life". …. I have taken the very bold step to identify myself at my church - a Baptist church -- as being Pro-life. It was during the last of June that I 'found' EWTN. It was at that time that I first saw Fr. Pavone and listened to his intelligent presentation. He was brilliant and logical, tempered, but not overwhelmed, with the emotions that defeat so many others. The Southern Baptist Convention could not move us, but Priests for Life and Fr. Pavone did! May our God continue to bless you and all who respond to His cry and suffering for the poor lives of our innocent.
-- Louise E. Atwell, Waynesboro, TN

"I hope that many priests and deacons will join Priests for Life. This association needs many members to educate and encourage all the priests and deacons who must all work together to stop the terrible war against unborn children."
--Mother Teresa, January 24, 1995

"In the capacity of National Director, I know Fr. Pavone has traveled the length and breadth of our country encouraging Catholic Priests to actively participate in the pro-life movement. I know of no effort more noble, more timely or important than the recruitment of our clergy in the cause for life."
--John Cardinal O'Connor, Archbishop of New York

"I remember when I first came to know Priests for Life, and now see, to my great satisfaction, how the association has grown."
--Alfonso Cardinal Lopez Trujillo President, Pontifical Council for the Family, Vatican City

"I am very honored to offer my own approval and endorsement of Priests for Life so that many of our brother priests in the Dioceses and Archdioceses across the country may come to know about your outstanding work and to embrace it as a very special and personal apostolate for themselves."
--Roger Cardinal Mahony, Archbishop of Los Angeles

"I respect Priests For Life and Fr. Frank Pavone for the work they do in helping restore our nation to a Biblical respect for all human life, and for working effectively with people of all races and denominations in this most important task."
--Randy Phillips, President of The Promise Keepers
