December 2025
Friends,
God in His mercy has blessed Priests for Life with a glorious opportunity to end 2025 on a financial high note. That opportunity is this:
A $250,000 Matching Gift Challenge!
What this means for you is that the donation you make today – along with the power that goes with it – will be doubled! Which also means that your impact in the fight to end abortion will be doubled!
I am relying on you especially to help make Priests for Life’s $250,000 Matching Gift Challenge a complete success because you are one of our most loyal members. And because you are …
… I’m depending on you to make as large a donation to Priests for Life as you can.
The reason I’m counting on you and this $250,000 Matching Gift Challenge so heavily is twofold.
First, as I’ve told you in prior letters, due to the economic uncertainty which lingers from the Biden years, donations to Priests for Life dropped a staggering 20% since this time last year.
I remain optimistic that President Trump will undo Biden’s economic fiasco and help get Americans back on their feet financially. But that will take time.
Which is why I’m relying on this $250,000 Matching Gift Challenge so heavily.
As I mentioned a moment ago, if we can max out the Challenge it will be a real boost to all that Priests for Life has planned to uproot the culture of death that is destroying the country and replace it with, in the words of St. John Paul II, a true culture of life.
That’s the first reason why I’m counting on your help today. Here’s the second.
Working together we won some incredible victories in 2025. Take a look:
- Congress ended federal funding of Planned Parenthood for the year.
- The Supreme Court ruled in Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic that states can ban Planned Parenthood and other baby killing entities from receiving taxpayer dollars by way of reimbursements from a state’s Medicaid program. This was a huge victory in the fight to stop forced taxpayer funding of the abortion industry.
- Similarly, when Congress passed the One Big Beautiful Bill it ended Big Abortion from receiving Medicaid funds through the budget reconciliation process.
- Thanks to President Trump abortion is no longer categorized as “healthcare” for funding purposes. So women can’t use Medicaid for elective abortion travel costs.
- Under the direction of President Trump the U.S. signed the Geneva Consensus Declaration which has, as one of its primary objectives to “protect life at all stages.”
- The U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that West Virginia has the authority to ban the abortion drug mifepristone.
Those are just a half dozen victories off the top of my head. Each one is an achievement few thought possible during the Biden years. But here we are.
Thanks to the grace of God Priests for Life and the entire pro-life movement is in a strong position to wake up our fellow Americans and get them to realize that our country will never have peace and prosperity as long as abortion reigns supreme.
So our mission remains:
To make abortion in America unthinkable.
Believe me when I tell you that we can do that. The day is coming when we rid the nation of abortion. So stay the course. Don’t let the devil fool you. He wants you to think that your efforts are in vain and that we have no chance of success.
He’s lying to you. Not only can we win this fight, we will win as long as we stay true to God and take Donald Trump’s message to heart:
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
We’ve simply got to defeat the forces of evil that are driving the radical “abortion till birth” agenda from succeeding.
Make no mistake.
The enemies of life will not stop their mad pursuit of abortion-on-demand. If anything our victories and President Trump’s pro-life policies will only serve to embolden them to be even more extreme in their rhetoric and their actions.
Knowing this Priests for Life continues to press forward with our nationwide Pro-Life Offensive that’s operating on two fronts:
- Political.
- Cultural.
On the political front we’ve got to make sure that pro-life lawmakers maintain control of Congress following next year’s important mid-term elections.
This is crucial so that we can continue to collaborate with the Trump administration and members of Congress to:
- Make the one-year ban on federal funding of Planned Parenthood PERMANENT.
- Repeal FACE – the unconstitutional Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.
- Pass the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.
- Increase legal efforts to provide protection for babies in the womb.
- End legal late term abortions.
Those victories will only happen IF pro-life lawmakers control Congress, both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Your gift to Priests for Life’s $250,000 Matching Gift Challenge will provide the much-needed financial support that will empower Priests for Life to turn out the pro-life vote in 2026 and help pro-life candidates win their elections. We will do that through:
- Our presence on social media platforms like X, Truth Social, Instagram.
- Our presence on the internet over our EndAbortion.TV programs.
- Our presence on radio stations across the country.
- Our contact with hundreds of thousands of pro-life activist via email.
- Our regular communication with clergy of all denominations.
Priests for Life has the potential to reach over thirty million people through our vast communication network.
On the cultural front, in light of the confusion coming from off-the-cuff papal comments about abortion, Priests for Life will use 2026 to re-double our efforts to infuse the Church with intense pro-life enthusiasm and vigor.
The recent statements of Pope Leo where he equated the killing of a defenseless child in the womb with what he referred to as the “inhumane treatment of immigrants” is confusing at best and sheer lunacy at worst.
More than ever Priests for Life will hammer home with Pope Leo, our U.S. bishops, as well as the entire clergy and laity the TRUTH that the RIGHT TO LIFE is the fundamental human right and the right upon which all other human rights depend. Given the wobbly approach to abortion we see too often, Priests for Life’s voice must be louder than ever in 2026.
The Petition to Pope Leo XIV that I asked you to sign is a major part of this effort.
Now you see why I’m counting on you to take part in our $250,000 Matching Gift Challenge.
Next year’s operations budget will easily exceed $5,000,000 … every penny of which will come from pro-life warriors like you.
Your unwavering commitment to our shared mission here at Priests for Life is exactly what we need right now. Together we will fight to protect the lives of our unborn brothers and sisters, as well as their abortion vulnerable mothers.
Which is precisely why it’s important that you take a moment right now to make as large a donation to Priests for Life as you can and do your part to make our $250,000 Matching Gift Challenge the success it absolutely must be.
As I told you, given the ongoing negative impact the Biden economy has had on donations to Priests for Life this year, our Matching Gift Challenge is vital if we are to fulfill the mission God has entrusted to us; namely:
That we do whatever He asks of us to make abortion in America not merely illegal but even more importantly UNTHINKABLE.
It’s absolutely critical that Priests for Life maximize this $250,000 Matching Gift Challenge because we desperately need the $500,000 we are in line to receive from it to create the financial base upon which all of our work in 2026 will be built.
Again though, for that to happen we need full 100% participation from the entire Priests for Life family, but especially from you.
That’s because you are one of Priests for Life’s most loyal partners. And because you are …
… it’s vital that you do whatever you can to help Priests for Life maximize this year’s Matching Gift Challenge.
And remember: Whatever size donation you make …
… your gift will be DOUBLED.
For my part I promise you this:
Priests for Life will never abandon the field of battle to the Democrats, Planned Parenthood, the abortion industry, or the enemies of life.
I’ll close this urgent appeal for your help with my heartfelt thanks for all you did this past year.
Your resolve to protect the youngest members of our human family from those who seek to kill them and your willingness to give of yourself for them is a tribute to you and a blessing to Priests for Life, which is why I pray for you every day and why Fr. Denis Wilde, O.S.A. and Fr. David Begany, SSJ remember you at Mass.
May God bless you and may God bless America.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Pro-life leader Frank Pavone,
National Director, Priests for Life
