Fr. Frank A. Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, proudly
announced today that Priests for life now has its own web page on
the internet. The address of the site is:
http://www.priestsforlife.org
"What this means," Fr. Pavone stated, "is that 10-15 million people
worldwide can now instantly access Priests for Life right from their
own homes. This is truly a blessing for our organization."
Fr. Pavone, who became National Director three years ago with the
permission of John Cardinal O'Connor of New York, said he hoped
the new web page would become a powerful tool in helping
transform the "Culture of Death" into a "Culture of Life."
"The world wide web has opened up a whole new era of
communication, comparable to what happened at the coming of
television," Fr. Pavone said. "The pro-life message needs to be
prominent on the web. Here we can make up, at least to some
degree, for what is so obviously missing in other media."
The Priests for Life web page offers a wealth of life-saving
information, available at the click of a button. As of June 27, anyone
who logs on to our site will have access to these exciting features:
* Easy to use, one step hyper-links, which allow instant
communication with other pro-life groups and leaders
* Fr. Pavone's highly acclaimed brochures and pro-life homilies
* Personal testimonies of abortion survivors and former abortion
providers
* Immediate links to the addresses and phone numbers of over 2300
crisis pregnancy centers
* An interactive map of the United States. Click on any state and
get announcements of local pro-life events, activities, and
volunteer opportunities. (We would like you to help us in
developing this feature of our web site by sending us any
information you have about pro-life activities in your area)
* Direct links which enable the user to send e-mail or faxes to their
local congressman and local newspapers
* A private conferencing function which allows pro-lifers to
communicate with each other on-line
* State of the art videos as well ultrasound and intrauterine
photographs which prove indisputably that the life in the womb is
indeed a human child
Even better news is that the Priests for Life web page will be updated
at least weekly. "Our new web page will be a tremendous aid to us
in getting our message out to the public," Fr. Pavone stated. "And
we are willing to use our web page to publicize information from
other pro-life groups that are not yet on-line. For those who are, we
would be glad to create a link to your page, and you are welcome to
do the same to ours. It is imperative that we in the pro-life
movement work together to flood the internet with pro-life
information. Only by taking advantage of every single media
opportunity can we hope to achieve victory in this struggle. I
recommend the book, The Internet for Christians (1-800-253-0413),
for those unfamiliar with this new mode of communication. It makes
this new world seem very friendly."
