Priests for Life’s Plan of Action to 

Make the Church Pro-life Again

Friends,

The Ending Abortion Pro-Life Primer is perhaps the single most important booklet Priests for Life has ever produced.

I encourage you to click here, electronically download a copy and read it. The Primer is the foundation block upon which Priests for Life’s entire 2026 Plan of Action to Make the Church Pro-life Again is built.

In a nutshell, Priests for Life intends to send copies of the Primer to every bishop, pastor, priest and deacon in the country; as well as the millions of individuals we intend to transform into vibrant pro-life activists like you. 

Can I count on your help to do that? 

To be blunt I need you to make as large a donation to Priests for Life as you can and do your part to get copies of this one-of-its-kind booklets into the hands of America’s clergy.

It’s important for your own pro-life mission that you do this. I say that because, not only is our Ending Abortion Pro-Life Primer the single most important booklet Priests for Life has ever produced, but our Plan of Action to Make the Church Pro-life Again may well be the single most important project Priests for Life has ever conducted and you will ever take part in.

I say that for the simple reason that ONLY the Church can end abortion. It’s true. The Church is the Body of Christ and so carries out the mission of Christ. Since Jesus is Life – the Bread of Life … the Resurrection and the Life … the Way, the Truth and the Life – to stand with Christ is to stand with life and to stand against whatever destroys life

And while there are many organizations that fight abortion, only the Church has the Divine guarantee of victory in this fight. We know this because Jesus told us: “The gates of hell will not prevail against it” (Mt 16:18). 

And since gates defend cities and fortresses from the enemy attacking it, what the Lord assures us is that the Church will succeed when attacking the kingdom of death and hell. 

Without question:

The biggest obstacle to the culture of death is the Church and if we rise to the occasion now, the proponents of abortion will not get away with what they are still trying to do.

That’s why Priests for Life has dedicated 2026 to be the year we Make the Catholic Church Pro-life Again! 

We have to do this because, as you know only too well, the sad reality we face today in our fight against abortion is the fact that the Church’s leadership is woefully silent when it comes to teaching the laity why abortion is the single greatest evil in the world today and then leading them to join the fight to end abortion.

That being the case Priests for Life will hammer home with the clergy the TRUTH that the RIGHT TO LIFE is the fundamental human right and the right upon which all other human rights depend. 

The Church leadership today is NOT at the forefront of ending abortion, and this in spite of the fact that the Church has issued clear official teachings against abortion. 

But rather than proclaim these teachings with bold directness, too many bishops spread the false narrative that abortion, the death penalty, climate change, immigration, and a host of other so-called “issues” are all of equal urgency for the Church to fight. 

That’s a huge mistake. 

While it’s obviously true that every human life is equal, it’s also true that not every attack on human life is equal. Some are more grievous than others.

The prolife movement is not simply about a generic affirmation of respect for every human life. Rather, it has a very specific goal, namely: 

To protect the youngest, most vulnerable children from being dismembered.

Tragically too many pastors lack the courage to speak out against abortion and to publicly correct the public officials who think abortion is a “right” and should be funded by the taxpayers. Ending abortion simply isn’t a priority among most bishops and even our recent popes. 

This constitutes a serious disconnect between words and behavior, and causes harmful confusion within the laity.

And because it does Priests for Life will challenge the bishops to ACT like abortion is the “pre-eminent issue” for all believers, as they say it is. We will call on them to LEAD God’s people with concrete ACTION instead of meaningless platitudes and pious slogans. After all: 

ACTIONS speak louder than words.

With your help today, along with the entire Priests for Life family, we will reinforce that challenge by sending every bishop, priest, pastor and deacon in the country a copy of Priests for Life’s unique Ending Abortion Pro-life Primer. 

As you’ll read for yourself, our Primer dismantles every excuse and rationalization bishops and pastors use to excuse their refusal to rouse the laity to action in the fight against abortion.

In addition to that, Priests for Life will use our Primer to recruit a pro-life army that will fight to defend unborn babies and their abortion victim mothers from the abortionists. The ultimate goal is nothing less than this:

To make abortion in America UNTHINKABLE!

That’s our plan for 2026. 

As I told you at the opening of my letter, this is without question the single most important project Priests for Life has ever undertaken. Nothing less than the survival of our nation depends on its success. 

So please give our 2026 Plan of Action to Make the Church Pro-life Again your wholehearted support; both spiritually with your prayers and financially with as large a donation as you can make today.

As you consider how large a donation to make keep in mind that it costs Priests for Life .20 to print one Primer

So for every $1 you send, Priests for Life can print up 5 Primers. Which means that if you make a $15 donation you will be personally responsible for getting 75 copies of the Primer into the hands of people who need it; whether a bishop, a pastor, a priest, a deacon, or a fellow American. 

Thank you for taking care of this right now. 

And know that in thanksgiving for your commitment I pray for you every day; and Fr. Denis Wilde, O.S.A. and Fr. David Begany, SSJ remember you in the Masses they offer. May God bless you.

Fighting for an ABORTION-FREE America,

Pro-life Leader Frank Pavone
