Father Frank Pavone is one of the most outspoken
church leaders on the life issues in the world. At Pro-Life Unity, we
believe leaders like him will turn the tide in the battle for the unborn.
Father Frank's message is strong and clear and will help lift the veil that
has clouded the eyes of believers for so many years. - Peter
Shinn of Pro-Life Unity
Fr. Frank is, simply, the leading voice of the pro-life movement in America.
He is an effective speaker and writer in support of the sanctity of human
life - any group that books Fr. Frank to speak will be challenged and
inspired to increase its pro-life work. His influence is further magnified
by the numerous organizations and ministries that he has created to spread
the Gospel of Life throughout society, including in the churches among
clergy and laity of all denominations. Whatever superlative one can imagine,
Fr. Frank is deserving of it!

Peter Breen,
Executive Director & Legal Counsel, Thomas More Society
Father Frank is one the most, if not the most, insightful and compelling
pro-life spokesmen to both evangelicals and Catholics alike. As an
evangelical, I greatly admire his ministry because his heart for the gospel
resonates with mine and he has developed a biblical justification for life
that applies to and can be understood by all believers.

In the battle to stop abortion, Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life is
one of the strongest champions I know. His sincerity and care for both the
mother and unborn are distinct. His humility, interdenominational work,
eloquence and endless servitude amaze me. He's the real deal. It is an honor
to know him and I will gladly serve alongside him any chance I get.

abortion question in any situation for any gospel reading. he has a true
gift for persuasive speaking and educating. I recommend you get his tapes or

Founder, CatholicVote.org
I cannot recommend Fr. Frank and his work strongly enough. There are many
pro-life voices in our country today. But in my opinion, few have the
ability to articulate the truth about life more passionately and effectively
as Fr. Frank. Regardless of the specific life topic, Fr. Frank has a knack
for being able to explain convincingly why one should embrace the cause of
life. And he has long been making use of all forms of media to do this. He
will go down in history as one of the true pro-life heroes of our time.

Jerry Usher,

Father Frank Pavone is not only among the most prominent pro-life leaders in
America, he is a driving force in bringing the pro-life movement together.
He has worked hard over the past several years to harness the work of
various organization fighting for the rights of our unborn brothers and
sisters. Through his work, the pro-life community has never been more united
and effective. I highly endorse Father Frank and the work of the Priests for
Life apostolates. -
Patrick Novecosky,

It has been my pleasure to work with Father Frank Pavone in the National
Pro-Life Religious Council. His consistent faith in his Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ is the bedrock of his tireless work on behalf of the vulnerable
lives of the unborn. No one I know is more faithful or committed to this
calling to serve the "least of these." Fr. Frank is a capable spokesman,
writer, and leader. He has my highest regard.

Marie Bowen,
Executive Director, Presbyterians Pro-Life, Research, Education, and Care,
Inc.
Since he was a parish priest on Staten Island, I've known Fr. Frank Pavone
as an articulate, compassionate preacher on all the Life issues. When he
became director of Priests for Life he enlarged that organization's
horizon effectively networking with all those who believe abortion is wrong
in all circumstances. He's used the streets and all modern media resources
to spread the word of hope for any woman in a crisis pregnancy, healing for
all those who've been affected by abortion and sound reason to confront the
spurious supporters of abortion. He energizes crowds at rallies and banquets
large or small and converted unbelievers. Fr. Frank never hesitates in
helping all individuals and organizations to do anything possible to spread
the Gospel of Life. -
Christopher Bell,
President & Executive Director, Good Counsel
Father Frank knows his subject and has been involved in the pro-life
ministry for over 15 years. He is a dear friend and I would recommend his
public-speaking talents to you for profound results, spiritually, and as a
friend.

I've known Fr. Frank for many years. He has built Priests for Life into
arguably the most effective and respected pro-life organization in the
world. In my estimation he brings together three crucially important
ingredients: (1) He understands the "Gospel of Life" and all the related
issues thoroughly and internally, and is able to articulate this
understanding easily, clearly, and compassionately. (2) He's an energetic
leader and is very organized! (3) Above all, he's a holy priest, and as the
name of the organization suggests, his pro-life efforts spring from the
faithful exercise of his ordained ministry. I feel honored to know him. -
Leon Suprenant,
President, Catholics United for the Faith
Father Frank is a forward thinking visionary with the ability to transcend
inter- denominational barriers. His charismatic personality and dedication
strengthens and unites the Pro Life movement into a potent ecumenical
powerhouse. He also is a dynamic prolific speaker championing the Gospel of
Life, and causing it to become a potent political force that threatens the
culture of death. -

There are few individuals who so faithfully and articulately defend life, as
Father Pavone. He speaks and writes clearly in the defense of life. As a

Frank is a natural leader in the Church and the pro-life movement.

the many sectors of the movement are just two of his many talents and
strengths. I am proud to work beside him as we endeavor to end abortion in
our lifetime. -

It never ceases to amaze me how Father Frank continues to come up with new
ways to help people see more clearly just what we're talking about when it
comes to unborn human life and the threat it faces from legal abortion. It's
safe to say that Father Frank is a major reason why America is more pro-life
than it ever has been. -

Alan Napleton,
President, Catholic Marketing Network
I've heard Father Pavone speak numerous times at various pro-life
fundraisers, including Right to Life of Michigan and Crossroads Pregnancy
Center, where I'm on the Advisory Board. His speech on "This is my body," is
one of the most profound pro-life speeches I've heard. He's a wonderful
leader and a very gifted speaker, for any kind of audience. I also had the
pleasure of being interviewed by him on the radio and filmed at Priests for
Life, where he showed himself to be a humble and warm servant, though a
tremendously influential and visionary leader of an organization with
incredible depth. -
Rebecca Kiessling,

Father Frank Pavone is simply one of the most effective pro-life leaders in
our nation -- I've worked with him closely for over ten years. He's
fearless, articulate, and unrelenting. He knows who to work with people from
all faith traditions who are dedicated to protecting innocent life. It is a
privilege to endorse his work. -
Deal Hudson,

I have worked for Father Pavone, MEV on two separate internships, one after
graduating high-school, and the other, on a summer break between college
terms. In total, I have spent more than a year working for him, in multiple
positions throughout the company, some of which I was assigned a manager to
work under, and others, I was given to report directly to him. Father Pavone
is an incredibly driven individual, that will work until a job is complete
and fulfills its original purpose beyond initial expectations. As such,
working for him was an incredible pleasure and example for myself, and gave
me purpose in my work. Although I no longer work with Priests For Life, as I
am back in school full time, I value the example that Father Pavone gave to
me, and have learned so much from him in organizational management,
planning, correspondence, public relations, and a high level of
professionalism, that have helped me to obtain positions and make
connections that are solid and lasting. I endorse Father Pavone in his work,
and the future that he will seek to fulfill. His greatest value? A Roman
Catholic priest that unites people for a firm cause, when others before have
failed to do so. -
Justin Harper,
Former Intern, Priests For Life
Fr. Frank is an international powerhouse articulating the duty of all to
defend life. He is unique among clergy. He is brave, bold and strategically
brilliant. His theology is solid in this world of squishy philosophies. His
energy and passion set the example of what a human being would obviously do
if his own life was in danger. -
Tom
Cyr,
Tooling Engineer, Lockheed Martin
Fr. Frank Pavone has served for years on the board of directors of our
Center For Bio-Ethical Reform. He is arguably the most influential pro-life
activist in the world. He commands virtually universal respect because he is
clearly the most visionary, strategically focused and intensely driven
combatant contesting the abortion wars. He sees this as a war and fights it
as a war because it is war. I thank God for his moral clarity, pastor's
heart and warrior's spirit. -
Gregg Cunningham,
Humble Servant, Center for Bio-Ethical Reform
Father Frank Pavone is one the most articulate and
concise speakers and presenters on the life cause anywhere in the country.
If you have a chance to hear him, or book him for a speech or a panel, do
so! - Colin Hanna
