Dear Friend of Life,

Now that we have a new Pope, so many people around the world and across the Body of Christ have told me that they are praying that I be reinstated to the priesthood.

I am being asked three questions which I want to answer briefly: 1) Is it possible? 2) Am I requesting it? and 3) How can I help?

First of all, yes, it is possible. What Pope Francis did, Pope Leo XIV can undo. It can certainly happen that I can fully exercise my priestly functions and carry out my pro-life work fulltime, just as I have done since 1993.

Second, yes, I am requesting it. I have never had one moment’s doubt that I am called to be a priest. After all this happened, I have not joined a different Church; I have not sought marriage. And except for the sacramental duties that only a priest can perform, I have been doing the same fulltime pro-life work as I’ve done for 32 years. Now I am going to ask again for what I asked 32 years ago: the Church’s blessing to do it as a priest.

As a matter of fact, as I am writing this message to you, I am on my way to meet with one of the highest ranking Cardinals in the Vatican!

Of course, as so many of you have said, “You are a priest forever,” and that is true. The priesthood itself cannot be taken away. The pope can restrict whether it is exercised publicly, and I have been obedient to all the restrictions he imposed.

But because people like you support our Priests for Life work, I’ve been able to continue saving the unborn, electing pro-life candidates, lobbying lawmakers, healing people wounded by abortion, leading marches and prayer vigils, bringing leaders together for strategy meetings, and proclaiming the pro-life message via talks, broadcasts, and writings.

And that leads to the third question – how can you help me?

First, you can lend your voice to mine in requesting that the Pope reinstate me. At this link, please write a message, as short or as long as you like, expressing your desire that I be reinstated, and giving the reasons you want that. I know you support me. But having these messages in writing will help me make the case to the Pope that the People of God recognize the value of my work and want it to continue – both as a priest and as a full time pro-life leader.

And second, you can help me by supporting Priests for Life financially. As I’ve always said, our best response to those who try to cancel us is our success! Our enemies didn’t just want me out of the priesthood – they wanted me and Priests for Life to disappear completely. But that hasn’t happened – because people like you love the work we do, see its fruits, and continue to fund it.

As I’ve always said to our supporters, if you see me and my team stop doing the work, then stop supporting it, but if you still see us doing it, then we still need your support!

At this same link where you can leave your message, you can also make a donation. There are so many costs to our life-saving work, and we don’t want it to slow down while we engage in the process of re-instatement. There are also expenses to that process. We can use all the help you can give.

Recently, I was looking through all of my priestly vestments, as I reflected on the possibility that Pope Leo XIV will restore my priestly faculties. I still have the chasuble I wore and the chalice I used for my first Mass in 1988!

Of course, there are no guarantees. We’re going to make the request—but I know you’re behind me. And that gives me confidence!

One more thing – be sure that I will keep you informed. You will be the first to know what happens. Be on the lookout for special emails and special video broadcasts!

And know that I pray for you!

Again, here is the link at which you can help in the two ways I have described.

Thank you and God Bless you,

Sincerely,

Pro-Life Leader Frank Pavone
