October 2026

This is without question the single most difficult letter I hope to ever send you.

Friends,

Since there’s no way to sugarcoat what I’m about to ask, let me be totally blunt with you.

I need you to make as large a donation to Priests for Life as you possibly can … and that you do so right now … before you go on to another page.

I know I’ve sent you a couple letters telling you about the serious drop in donations that Priests for Life is suffering. In total dollars that drop has meant the loss of over a million dollars … dollars Priests for Life desperately needs to transform our nation spiritually, morally and politically.

You have been so generous with your support, both for me personally and for Priests for Life.

But today I must ask you to make what I know will be a sacrifice and make the largest donation to Priests for Life that you can.

I’m begging you to do this because our financial need here at Priests for Life is serious.

As I just told you, Priests for Life is suffering under a severe million dollar shortfall in donations for this year. This trend is not sustainable and threatens to derail the vital and important life-saving and nation-saving work Priests for Life absolutely must do to save America from the grave injustice of abortion.

The reason for our financial situation is threefold.

First, the economy is still working its way out of Biden-flation and that’s put a squeeze on most people’s disposable income which, in turn, hinders people from donating as generously as they used to.

Second, this volatile midterm election year is so important that the campaigns of solid, patriotic, pro-life candidates are siphoning dollars from Priests for Life that would normally come to us.

And third, and while I know this doesn’t apply to you, it most certainly applies to many people who supported Priests for Life in the past. And that is this:

The doom and gloom spirit.

For no discernable reason, some say that the fight against abortion is over. That it’s a lost cause. That legalized abortion will never go away. That it’s ingrained in the culture. That nobody cares any more.

Some tend to despair in this way at one time or another. But I beg you:

Don’t think that way.

Don’t sink into a paralysis of uncertainty.

Instead, put your trust in God and carry on with your pro-life mission without fear, as I do.

And right now one of the very best ways for you to fulfill your life-saving work is to make whatever sacrifices you must to make a much-needed donation to Priests for Life.

In asking you to make that sacrifice I want to assure that in the thirty plus years God has placed me at the helm of Priests for Life I have never abandoned the mission He gave me to fulfill, which is to save lives, as well as save individual souls from being ensnared in the devil’s deadly web of abortion.

And I’m not about to abandon the babies and their abortion vulnerable mothers now.

But just how much I and Priests for Life can do is really not up to me.

It’s up to you, you and the rest of the Priests for Life family.

That’s because the only reason we are able to carry out our life-saving work is because YOU and your Priests for Life family members provide us with the financial support we need to fund our work.

Of course I will NEVER forsake my God-given mission to fight for an end to the evil of abortion. But the work God gives us requires the support of God’s people!

The babies scheduled to be aborted cannot afford any delay in the projects that can save them!

We need you to help us avoid these scenarios:

• No more moving videos because there aren’t the funds needed to purchase the video equipment.
• No more inspirational ads for social media because we can’t pay the service fees associated with the ads.
• No more educational material for clergy because we can’t afford to buy the paper or pay the printer to produce them.

And I could list a dozen other projects that will either end completely or be cut way back for the simple reason that Priests for Life no longer has the funds to carry them out.

Sadly, that’s how dire our situation is right now and where we stand financially.

That’s why I need you to make as large a donation to Priests for Life as you can … and why I need you to do this today.

Do so knowing that, thanks to the grace of God and the dedication of you and the entire Priests for Life family, Priests for Life continues to be the recognized face and voice of the pro-life movement.

As such pro-life leaders and activists around the country turn to Priests for Life for reassurance, for leadership, for encouragement, and for the material and moral support they need to carry out the tremendous pro-life work they do in their states and local communities.

In addition to them the clergy of all denominations look to Priests for Life for encouragement. So, too, do political candidates; as well as the courageous men and women who operate pregnancy centers all across the country.

Priests for Life’s work is vast and widespread.

But it’s all in jeopardy due to this massive and steady decline in donations.

That’s why it’s so important that you make whatever size donation to Priests for Life that you can … and that you do this before you move on to your next webpage.

I’m literally begging you to help.

But don’t do this for me. Make this sacrifice for your unborn brothers and sisters. They need you.

And they need Priests for Life.

So please do what you can to help. Please.

Again, I don’t like having to write to you as I am today. That’s because I know where your heart is and how fervently you work to defend our unborn brothers and sisters. I know how devotedly you support me and Priests for Life. I know all this.

But I’m not asking you to help Priests for Life so much as I’m begging you to help the youngest members of our human family – our unborn brothers and sisters. It’s for them that I’m asking you to make this sacrifice today.

You and Priests for Life are their primary defenders. But we cannot defend them as well as we must without you; you and your fellow Priests for Life family members.

That’s why I’m literally begging you for a financial gift.

And with that I’ll close this urgent appeal for help.

But not before I tell you that in heartfelt thanks for you and the strength of your resolve to protect our unborn brothers and sisters. I remember you in prayer, and Fr. Denis Wilde, O.S.A. and Fr. David Begany, SSJ remember you in their masses as well.

Thank you for your immediate and generous reply. And may God bless you.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Pro-Life Leader Frank Pavone

National Director, Priests for Life

P.S. One final point. I want you to know that I continue to work to be reinstated to priestly ministry. Being a priest and fulltime prolife leader is who I am. But some enemies in the hierarchy – without any justification – have taken the priestly aspect of this ministry away from me.

I am leaving no stone unturned in this effort, and relying on the Lord’s power for success. I do ask you to pray for me through the intercession of St. Padre Pio who himself was stripped of all his priestly ministry except for offering Mass. But he was forbidden to offer a Mass in public. His unjust persecution lasted almost twenty years. I hope mine doesn’t last that long but I strive to follow his example of obedient union with the Church. Thank you.
