Praise for Priests for Life

Most Recent

..please pass on to Father my appreciation and thankfulness to him for his unwavering, holy commitment to life and to our constitutional republic and its defenders. Father's prayer this morning was what so many of us needed to be fed spiritually. (Father's prayers always are.) I have posted and shared it, along with the prayer for tonight. At a time when the diabolical is so strong among us, and Catholic leadership so often buckles into its temptation and joins in its efforts--Father Frank stands apart as a defender of Jesus' truth and justice, crying out in the wilderness. So many prayers for Father, his health and protection. Prayers for you and the team in this new year. - Jennifer
Hi Ms. King. I just watched you on a news channel, and I wanted to take the time to thank you for your healing that you're trying to do in this country girl. … everyone talks about your uncle. He was a wonderful man, and it was because of him that my father fought for civil rights. But you need to be recognized you've done just as much you've taken just as much heat and you're absolutely a beautiful person and I would have thank you God. I'm so worried about where we're headed in his country. .. Thank you so much. Thank you for being who you are. Miss alveda King your inspiration yourself.
Thank you Fr. Frank for all your work over the past 20+ years to advocate for the unborn babies around the world and your tireless efforts to overturn the horrible Roe v Wade decision erroneously made almost 50 years ago. I am proud and honored to be part of your Priests for Life and MAGAfor life movements. We prolife Catholics and all faiths must bond together to defeat the radical left and overturn Roe v Wade. God bless you always Fr. Pavone, my prayers are always for you and please pray for me also. God bless America!!! - Richard
May God bless you. May His will be done here on earth through God loving people like yourself, Fr. Frank. I will humbly, keep you in my prayers. All and only through our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen. - Paul
My husband is on the same page as me as far as abortion is concerned. We love to watch the masses and nightly programs of Fr. Frank Pavone. We cannot tell you how much we appreciate his support for our country, President Trump, and the Pro-Life agenda. As for me, Fr. Pavone is one of the best reasons for being a Catholic. I have been so very disillusioned with the catholic faith via other priests and bishops. Fr. Pavone helps me hang on to the Catholic faith as I cry about how the magisterium has let me down.
Thank you for your years of encouragement and leadership. Knowing what you went through you protect preborn lives has helped to think that there is hope someday in this battle. May God continue to anoint you, protect you and cause His hope to dwell in your heart forever. - Robert
God Bess you! I am a brand new Christian. Though I know Father Franke Pavone is Catholic, he's part of what brought me to God. - Jackie

Thank you everyone at Priests for Life for all that you do to protect the unborn. Also, Fr. Frank’s beautiful and meaningful homilies are a daily source of hope for all who are experiencing weariness during these very difficult times in our nation. Sending my deepest gratitude for being renewed each day by joining the 10 a.m. mass. Love, Jacqueline
Father Frank, you are doing an incredible job! I came across you months before the election. I enjoy and appreciate your intelligence on life!! And certainly the great work that you do to save the unborn! .... Remain courageous and of sound mind. You are an inspiration to us all and I thank God for you.
Father Frank and the Ministry of Priests for Life has been an incredible gift to me and many others as we navigate (with Christ's) through these very uncertain times. My mother mentioned Father Frank and his Pro Life ministry to me around 15 yrs ago. Mom was a beautiful example of Christ and was very active in her parish pro life ministry... She was faithful in this ministry up until cancer took her life. Unfortunately, I never bothered to look up Father Frank. The day after the 2020 election I received a Facebook post from Diamond and Silk that promoted a nighttime prayer featuring Dr. Alveda King and Father Pavone. This was definitely a timely gift from God that I needed. I have been sharing many of the daily masses and other ministry programs with many of my family and friends. Many appreciate and are blessed by your ministry… Praying for Gods hand of protection and supporting your life giving Christ centered ministry. Thank you. - Timothy
Father Pavone, our deepest thanks for your Homily ... You made it so clear to us all, you answered all of our questions as to how to evaluate the candidates and we all here [in New Jersey], who saw and heard you... send our blessings. -- Betty
Dear Father: The statement in your column, "we have all aborted God’s will in our lives," is an excellent tool of language to use not only with the pro-aborts... but also with those not too fervent in fighting abortion. Thank you for those words. That is why I like your ... programs. and [columns]. They give me the powerful language I lack. Dominus Vobiscum and love in Jesus the lord of life – Andrea, CA
Thank you so much for all your sermons about the political responsibility of each of us in the voting booth. .... I have found the little booklets helpful but your talks definitely fine-tuned the decision making process. I now see so much more clearly…how we must always be ready for battle. - Laura
Just this past year or so, I have been fortunate enough to see you on television. The first time I did see you and heard your message I was in tears. I am one of the two victims of abortion. This of which I have just realized. I never saw myself as victim. Only a murderer. But thanks to your voice and the loving embrace of the catholic church, I am ever so slowly emerging from this deep abyss that I have been in for about 10 years.
I am a Protestant minister who first became acquainted with Priests for Life through the Eternal Word network. I have been a faithful listener to your programs on the TV and the Shortwave programming. I have followed many of your suggestions - writing letters to Editors/ for one. I have been amazed at the doors that have opened- and how the Lord has been drawing me more and more to unite with Catholics in this great cultural issue of our time- the holocaust of the unborn. I have even had articles published in the Dubuque Catholic Diocese Newspaper. Now I feel led to move from listening and praying for your ministry to supporting it financially. Here is a small contribution to your work. We are non-Catholics who are really inspired by your appearances on EWTN.
Please tell Dr. Alveda King I was watching Fox news...and she did an outstanding interview. She stands on truth as we do in RUrecovery.com. I just wanted her to know how much I appreciated her words, demeanor and sweet spirit....Thank you…We need more people like this in and on the news. -Benjamin
Greetings, I just saw an interview with Mrs. King on a news channel. Very good !!! I have been saying what she has said. We are all the same race. The human race. Thank you. Keep saying it & I will too. We will make a difference. - Dave
Thank you Father Frank. For this beautiful homily. That's bring us closer to our father Jesus christ.. - Connie
Dear Father Frank Pavone, Though I am not Catholic, I am a pro-life Christian. Thank you so much for all that you do for life, and for your leadership on the pro-life issue! You were one of the first people to follow me on my newly created Twitter account in March, and I thank you so much for that! I have been passionate about life ever since I was 14 and pregnant with my son. Today, I’m 54, and the Lord has certainly taken me on a journey over these past 40 years, including, most recently, becoming a published author of a pro-life Christian novel entitled "The Dream." Though fiction, this novel packs a powerful message about forgiveness and healing after abortion. The Silent No More Awareness Campaign has added it to their resource list on their website. My website, www.deboraharlene.com, has a variety of information,.- Deborah Arlene
Dear Father Pavone and all priests for life, I join you from the north east of England, almost daily for the Rosary. I particularly enjoy Holy Hour and the Sorrowful mysteries and the wonderful and meaningful commentary .... The deep and thoughtful commentary enables me to remain focussed and I really feel like I’m ‘with’ Christ in his sufferings. Each night I trace back to this particular Holy Hour and place all my concerns with the Lord. God is certainly working overtime in the USA re your Pro life mission thank to the most unlikely person in Donald Trump – but then that’s how God works. - Thank you and God Bless you all so much - Geraldine
Hello Fr. Pavone, I have followed a couple of your presentation on youtube which have really helped strengthening my pro-life views. - Joseph
Dear Rev. Frank Pavone, I hope that you are well. I’m Father Mateus ... from ... Massachusetts. I’m writing to you today to congratulate you on your support to our President Trump. It’s really comforting to know that there are other brother priests who share of the same political views.
I am so appreciative you took the time to answer my questions. Knowing that Fr. Pavone provides services even when certain organizations do not have the funds to pay helps explain why the administrative costs are proportionately higher than I would expect them to be. I will continue to support his ministry. Blessings to all of you for doing God’s work on this earth! - Ginger
RE: An Open Letter to the Pastors of the United States - Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life Dear Father Pavone, Though I am Canadian, I realize the importance of this upcoming US election. Current events that have resulted in violence and bloodshed world-wide, are not really about racism, but about the global agenda to change America. It is a spiritual battle for the mind, body and soul of the world. Many Christian pastors like you are standing up against this global agenda – may the Lord bless your efforts. I admire you for your courage in taking a bold step to support President Donald Trump who has done a lot to uphold Christian values and freedoms. I am sharing your Letter to the Pastors of the US with my contacts who have relatives and friends in the US. I pray that together we can stand up for godly values in the public square and in so doing, stand for the protection of our God-given rights and freedoms. We pray that the Lord will bless P. Trump and that he may continue to stand up for life and family. Together, we can Make the World Great Again for the coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. May God bless you and all who are standing up for Christ in these difficult times. - Deanna and Francis
Dear Father Frank: Thank you for your tireless work on behalf of the unborn, the disenfranchised, those who are outcasts or disabled or rejected, lonely, sick, depressed! You are a gifted leader. Thank you for your service to our President, serving on his ProLife Team! We are all the better for the efforts of those members and for the Catholics for Trump group. The nation and our President and Vice President need our prayers, help and support now more than ever. You letter is “Right on!” You see through the smokescreen to the reality of what has happened, is happening and what needs to be done. You have my full support in separating the wheat from the chaff, the legal from the illegal, the legitimate from the illegitimate, the Fake News and Lies from The Truth, the Evil from the Good. Thank God for you and your colleagues/teammates,including the wonderful Dr.Alveda King (it must get lonely at times), and thank God for this Trump-Pence administration. The Deep State, Swamp and MSM have been an unending obstacle course for our President, yet he soldiers on, with global, national and more quiet locally-impacting achievements that are often ignored or dismissed by these enemies. He has courage, strength and endurance plus tenacity that can only come from God Himself. The prayer you composed is beautiful and powerful. My plan is to pray it often. I have watched you, off and on, for years on EWTN; however, with this election cycle, I really became a bit of a “groupie.” I looked forward to tuning in on RSBN in recent weeks for the Trump rallies, as so many did. I have been moved by the evangelization of you, Dr. King, Rev. Franklin Graham, Pastor Robert Jeffress, Rachel Campos-Duffy and Sr. Dierdre “Dede” Byrne, P.O.S.C., M.D. and by the newest SCOTUS Justice Amy Coney Barrett.... ... I am willing to fight for this President’s [Trump] Administration and for Life, as this, I believe is precisely what Our Lord, Jesus Christ, expects of us! Thank you for being an example for us to follow! May God continue to bless, protect and guide you and your ministry, your “team(s)”, our President and Vice President, all of your dear ones, your “entourages”, our great nation, the defenseless least among us, and people of Good Will everywhere. Respectfully and with love and prayers, - Maureen
Wow I must say as a raised Catholic kid for 11 years in there schools and church; I haven't seen anyone like you in there organization. Praise God! Awesome prayer and work compiling all this information and laying it out there for the people in the Catholic church. Great work!! So many folks in the church don't know that God chose President Trump. I'm so glad to see you are definitely hearing from God and His Spirit is with you! I don't do mainstream churches but I see your eyes are open!! Roe vrs Wade shall be overturned. Glory to Jesus!!! - John
God bless you Fr. Frank. You are an absolute gem, a true treasure of the Church. May Mary keep you very safe in Her Immaculate Heart and under Her Mantle of Protection. (I will be tuning in nightly (as often as possible) to hear your inspiring, powerful, insightful and comforting words of Truth. May God bless you now and forever more.)
I have been a monthly supporter for a long time and you have inspired me to help the defenseless babies unborn and now born; how? I am fostering a medically fragile infant with hopes to adopt her if that becomes an option. This infant has spent 5 of her 8 months in the hospital due to neglect and a traumatic brain injury; as a nurse I saw this happen often in the NYC hospitals. Thank You for your pro life message and supporting our pro- life president. With Gratitude, - Elizabeth
Thank you Father, We all here in Connecticut appreciate, along with our son, Fr. Michael...,all you are doing in support of our President Donald J. Trump. God bless you and all your followers… - Franklin
Dear Father Pavone, I am writing this letter, on Giving Tuesday, to thank you for all you do to help promote the pro-life cause. I regret that I can't afford to donate much money at this time but I am enclosing a donation of $20. I also want to take this opportunity to offer my sincere thank you for all you do to defend and protect life and educate Catholics and others on this pre-eminent issue. Thank you also for all your efforts during the election to educate and encourage Catholic voters to choose their faith over loyalty to a political party and their feelings about President Trump. The faithful witness and heroic efforts, given by you and the members of your organization, to push back against the culture of death, is a ray of hope that God will yet touch the hardened hearts of all who seek to solve their problems by killing the innocent. I wish I had more to give but as an added token of my appreciation I am enclosing a poem I wrote a few years ago as a present to my brother, who works to defend life.... I must, however, give credit where credit is due, so even though I wrote the words I do not claim to be the author. Writing poems is beyond by limited talents and abilities. The real author, of this poem and others I have written, is the Holy Spirit, Who always guides me and helps me put down what is in my heart but beyond my ability to express. So, once again I thank you for all that you do. May God bless and richly reward you for all you do to proclaim God's beautiful gift of life. Sincerely, Laura THE KEEPERS Blessed are the defenders of God's beautiful gift of life; the unsung heroes, the keepers of God's greatest treasures. You uphold the dignity of the unborn child, the handicapped, the imperfect and broken, the old and infirm, the sick and dying. Your vision penetrates the external vulnerability, the brokenness, the frailty of humanity at its weakest. In doing so you peer into the very soul, which is the window to God's heart, and touch the Divine. With the brightness of truth you expose the darkness of the culture of death. Against the demonic voices of hell your message forcefully proclaims to all the world God's unconditional love for every human being. Yes blessed are those who work to save and protect every person. For as much as God loves the "least of these': He also loves THE KEEPERS. "Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. "Mt 5:6
Happy Birthday Father! May the Lord bless you and Holy Queen Mother Mary guide you. We so much appreciate and give thanks for your ministry and teaching. Your homilies during daily Mass are truly inspired and essential catechesis to the faithful. In every era there is someone provided by GOD who stands out and guides the faithful. During these exceptionally trying times, you are the leader of all Catholics and Christians. We give thanks to GOD for His gift of you to us. Praised be JESUS! - Robert and Cisca
Dear Father Pavone, My twin sister, Rev. Diane ... and I are ordained Lutheran ministers in the North American Lutheran Church and Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ. Both very Pro-Life. We love and enjoy your blessed programming so very much! In our small way the Lord has used us and our family church. We have always had such a strong love of the unborn. Several things in our life had touched us so deeply for the unborn...My sister and I love the Lord and His precious Mother so much and are glad we can be of assistance in our Lord's work to save those precious little unborn babies. Our older brother is an ordained Lutheran minister and loves the unborn too. Our cousin, Father Michael .... is a Catholic priest who loves the unborn too. Again, we love you and your messages! Pastors Donna and Diane. P. S. M.A.G.A. We love President Trump too!
In honor of Fr Pavone's birthday I'm sending a donation! Fr Pavone, if you are reading this. I want to say thank you for being a faithful, strong priest. The world needs more of you. Your passion & love doesn't go unnoticed... You are truly a light & an inspiration! May God always bless you! You bless so many! Much love to you & I hope this is a special b'day !!!! - Jackie
Please tell Father Pavone that he has my family’s support and love for the work he is doing to defend the unborn. I read an article in the Wanderer newspaper that Father had an award called ‘a life for life award’ cancelled.... We are sending a contribution from our giving account to the Priests for Life in honor of Father Pavone. More importantly we will pray a rosary for Father and for your staff there. Please keep up your courageous and much needed work. - Will

RE: An Open Letter to the Pastors of the United States - Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director, Priests for Life

Dear Father Pavone,

Though I am Canadian, I realize the importance of this upcoming US election. Current events that have resulted in violence and bloodshed world-wide, are not really about racism, but about the global agenda to change America. It is a spiritual battle for the mind, body and soul of the world.

Many Christian pastors like you are standing up against this global agenda – may the Lord bless your efforts.

I admire you for your courage in taking a bold step to support President Donald Trump who has done a lot to uphold Christian values and freedoms.

I am sharing your Letter to the Pastors of the US with my contacts who have relatives and friends in the US.

I pray that together we can stand up for godly values in the public square and in so doing, stand for the protection of our God-given rights and freedoms.

We pray that the Lord will bless P. Trump and that he may continue to stand up for life and family. Together, we can Make the World Great Again for the coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

May God bless you and all who are standing up for Christ in these difficult times. - Deanna and Francis

Dear Father Frank:

Thank you for your tireless work on behalf of the unborn, the disenfranchised, those who are outcasts or disabled or rejected, lonely, sick, depressed! You are a gifted leader. Thank you for your service to our President, serving on his ProLife Team! We are all the better for the efforts of those members and for the Catholics for Trump group.

The nation and our President and Vice President need our prayers, help and support now more than ever. You letter is “Right on!” You see through the smokescreen to the reality of what has happened, is happening and what needs to be done. You have my full support in separating the wheat from the chaff, the legal from the illegal, the legitimate from the illegitimate, the Fake News and Lies from The Truth, the Evil from the Good. Thank God for you and your colleagues/teammates,including the wonderful Dr.Alveda King (it must get lonely at times), and thank God for this Trump-Pence administration. The Deep State, Swamp and MSM have been an unending obstacle course for our President, yet he soldiers on, with global, national and more quiet locally-impacting achievements that are often ignored or dismissed by these enemies. He has courage, strength and endurance plus tenacity that can only come from God Himself.

The prayer you composed is beautiful and powerful. My plan is to pray it often. I have watched you, off and on, for years on EWTN; however, with this election cycle, I really became a bit of a “groupie.” I looked forward to tuning in on RSBN in recent weeks for the Trump rallies, as so many did. I have been moved by the evangelization of you, Dr. King, Rev. Franklin Graham, Pastor Robert Jeffress, Rachel Campos-Duffy and Sr. Dierdre “Dede” Byrne, P.O.S.C., M.D. and by the newest SCOTUS Justice Amy Coney Barrett....

... I am willing to fight for this President’s [Trump] Administration and for Life, as this, I believe is precisely what Our Lord, Jesus Christ, expects of us! Thank you for being an example for us to follow! May God continue to bless, protect and guide you and your ministry, your “team(s)”, our President and Vice President, all of your dear ones, your “entourages”, our great nation, the defenseless least among us, and people of Good Will everywhere. Respectfully and with love and prayers, - Maureen

Wow I must say as a raised Catholic kid for 11 years in there schools and church; I haven't seen anyone like you in there organization. Praise God! Awesome prayer and work compiling all this information and laying it out there for the people in the Catholic church. Great work!! So many folks in the church don't know that God chose President Trump. I'm so glad to see you are definitely hearing from God and His Spirit is with you! I don't do mainstream churches but I see your eyes are open!! Roe vrs Wade shall be overturned. Glory to Jesus!!! - John

God bless you Fr. Frank. You are an absolute gem, a true treasure of the Church. May Mary keep you very safe in Her Immaculate Heart and under Her Mantle of Protection. (I will be tuning in nightly (as often as possible) to hear your inspiring, powerful, insightful and comforting words of Truth. May God bless you now and forever more.)

I have been a monthly supporter for a long time and you have inspired me to help the defenseless babies unborn and now born; how?
I am fostering a medically fragile infant with hopes to adopt her if that becomes an option. This infant has spent 5 of her 8 months in the hospital due to neglect and a traumatic brain injury; as a nurse I saw this happen often in the NYC hospitals. Thank You for your pro life message and supporting our pro- life president. With Gratitude, - Elizabeth

Thank you Father, We all here in Connecticut appreciate, along with our son, Fr. Michael...,all you are doing in support of our President Donald J. Trump. God bless you and all your followers… - Franklin

Dear Father Pavone,

I am writing this letter, on Giving Tuesday, to thank you for all you do to help promote the pro-life cause. I regret that I can't afford to donate much money at this time but I am enclosing a donation of $20. I also want to take this opportunity to offer my sincere thank you for all you do to defend and protect life and educate Catholics and others on this pre-eminent issue. Thank you also for all your efforts during the election to educate and encourage Catholic voters to choose their faith over loyalty to a political party and their feelings about President Trump. The faithful witness and heroic efforts, given by you and the members of your organization, to push back against the culture of death, is a ray of hope that God will yet touch the hardened hearts of all who seek to solve their problems by killing the innocent.

I wish I had more to give but as an added token of my appreciation I am enclosing a poem I wrote a few years ago as a present to my brother, who works to defend life.... I must, however, give credit where credit is due, so even though I wrote the words I do not claim to be the author. Writing poems is beyond by limited talents and abilities. The real author, of this poem and others I have written, is the Holy Spirit, Who always guides me and helps me put down what is in my heart but beyond my ability to express. So, once again I thank you for all that you do. May God bless and richly reward you for all you do to proclaim God's beautiful gift of life. Sincerely, Laura

THE KEEPERS

Blessed are the defenders of God's beautiful gift of life;
the unsung heroes, the keepers of God's greatest treasures.
You uphold the dignity of the unborn child,
the handicapped, the imperfect and broken,
the old and infirm, the sick and dying.
Your vision penetrates the external vulnerability,
the brokenness, the frailty of humanity at its weakest.
In doing so you peer into the very soul,
which is the window to God's heart, and touch the Divine.
With the brightness of truth
you expose the darkness of the culture of death.
Against the demonic voices of hell your message forcefully proclaims to all the world
God's unconditional love for every human being.
Yes blessed are those who work to save
and protect every person.
For as much as God loves the "least of these':
He also loves THE KEEPERS.
"Blessed are they who hunger and thirst
for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. "Mt 5:6

Happy Birthday Father! May the Lord bless you and Holy Queen Mother Mary guide you. We so much appreciate and give thanks for your ministry and teaching. Your homilies during daily Mass are truly inspired and essential catechesis to the faithful. In every era there is someone provided by GOD who stands out and guides the faithful. During these exceptionally trying times, you are the leader of all Catholics and Christians. We give thanks to GOD for His gift of you to us. Praised be JESUS! - Robert and Cisca

Dear Father Pavone, My twin sister, Rev. Diane ... and I are ordained Lutheran ministers in the North American Lutheran Church and Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ. Both very Pro-Life. We love and enjoy your blessed programming so very much! In our small way the Lord has used us and our family church. We have always had such a strong love of the unborn. Several things in our life had touched us so deeply for the unborn...My sister and I love the Lord and His precious Mother so much and are glad we can be of assistance in our Lord's work to save those precious little unborn babies. Our older brother is an ordained Lutheran minister and loves the unborn too. Our cousin, Father Michael .... is a Catholic priest who loves the unborn too. Again, we love you and your messages! Pastors Donna and Diane. P. S. M.A.G.A. We love President Trump too!

In honor of Fr Pavone's birthday I'm sending a donation! Fr Pavone, if you are reading this. I want to say thank you for being a faithful, strong priest. The world needs more of you. Your passion & love doesn't go unnoticed... You are truly a light & an inspiration! May God always bless you! You bless so many! Much love to you & I hope this is a special b'day !!!! - Jackie

Please tell Father Pavone that he has my family’s support and love for the work he is doing to defend the unborn. I read an article in the Wanderer newspaper that Father had an award called ‘a life for life award’ cancelled.... We are sending a contribution from our giving account to the Priests for Life in honor of Father Pavone. More importantly we will pray a rosary for Father and for your staff there. Please keep up your courageous and much needed work. - Will

From Bishops, Cardinals and Popes

Dear Father Frank, I just want you to know that I am so inspired by what you do in the Pro Life Movement. Who would have thought that you would become such a “luminary” as Fr. John Sorrento used to call priests who did something worth while? Blessings to you dear Father, and May our Holy Mother continue to watch over you. - Archbishop Anthony, The Archdiocese of New York (Orthodox)
Letter regarding the Missionaries of the Gospel of Life, Most Rev. David A. Zubik, Bishop of Pittsburg, March 2010

Thank you for your kindness in sending me the Priests for Life Study Guide for the document, Living the Gospel of Life, issued by bishops of the United States in 1998. The current controversy regarding Catholic politicians and the issue of abortion underscores how timely and necessary your Study Guide is. While some of the energy surrounding this question is created by the proximity of elections, the situation is one which is the fruit of many years' development, and a true change of heart among Catholic politicians will take much time and effort. I believe the bishops of our country are committed to that process, and the Priests for Life Study Guide will be very helpful in this important undertaking. Thanking you for devoted ministry which gives a voice to the voiceless unborn, I am Sincerely yours in Christ, -- Most Rev. William J. Levada, (previously) Archbishop of San Francisco

Fr. Frank Pavone, of Priests for Life, is a dynamic and inspiring speaker... -- Most Rev. Daniel M Buechlein, OSB, Archbishop of Indianapolis.

Be assured of a continuous place in our prayers as you move in to the Jubilee Year and the Third Millennium. Sincerely in the Holy Family, -- Most Rev. J. Quinn Weitzel, MM, Bishop of Samoa - Pago Pago.
I'd like to thank Priests for Life, therefore, for acknowledging the efforts of The Leaven staff to articulate and promote the church's teaching on this important pro-life issue in a manner accessible to the average Catholic.

On behalf of the Alliance of the Holy Family International, I would like to thank you for having made the International Clergy Retreat Seminar on the Alliance of the Two Hearts a success. Your valuable contribution has certainly made a big difference to all the priests who participated.

Myers, Bishop of Peoria (now Archbishop of Newark)
I write today to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous priestly service on behalf of life. Frank, your presentation was really excellent. God has gifted you with an ability to speak well and motivate people effectively. I was especially touched by the nuances you utilized in regards to the Eucharist. The two uses for the sentence "this is my body" will not be forgotten by me and your practical application of a deeper meaning of "do this in remembrance of me" will be worked into many of my own talks in the future. -- Most Rev. John McCarthy, Bishop Emeritus of Austin
Congratulations on the outstanding interview. Frank, I praise God for articulate, faith-filled young men like you. -- Paul V. Dudley, Bishop Emeritus of Sioux Falls
I have always noted that your own talks are pithy, very much to the point, very easy to listen to and extremely powerful. I am in complete agreement with everything that His Eminence (Cardinal O’Connor) says about you in his letter of endorsement. I can only say that he chose wisely and well when he selected Father Frank Pavone to be his ambassador around the country in promotion of the pro-life message and, in particular, Priests for Life. -- Most Rev. James M. Moynihan, Bishop of Syracuse
I invoke the Lord’s blessings upon your important work. -- Archbishop Agostino Cacciavillan, Apostolic Pro-Nuncio to the United States

Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., Archbishop of Denver
Congratulations on the great effort you give to Priests for Life and for all you do so well. "Thank you" and God bless you and all you do for the unborn. -- Most Rev. James Niedergeses, Bishop Emeritus of Nashville, TN
Rachel’s Vineyard Ministries began as a single weekend retreat held on the grounds of Blessed Virgin Mary Church in Darby, PA, for persons suffering emotional and spiritual pain from their participation in abortion. From this small seed, in only eight years this ministry has grown to offer over 1200 retreats across the United States, and now spreading to many countries throughout the world. The retreat process has been effective in bringing relief from the suffering that is common to many persons after abortion; nightmares, depression, anxiety, difficulties in relationships and a host of other symptoms that can bring great personal, relational and family suffering. With effective healing programs like Rachel’s Vineyard, we can help to bring and end to this suffering, and help bring healing to individuals, couples and families. -- Cardinal Justin Rigali, Archbishop of Philadelphia
[Regarding Priests for Life: A Global Mission] – thank you for sending me the video on the work of Priests for life. While I had already known of the significant efforts Priests for Life is making in the cause of human life, the video certainly enriched both my understanding and appreciation. Know that you are in my prayer as you reach out to more and more clergy and engage them in service of the Gospel of Life. Thank you for your own wonderful leadership. -- Most Rev. Richard J Malone, Auxiliary Bishop of Boston, South Region
[Regarding Priests for Life: A Global Mission] – An engaging presentation of the ministry of priests for life, this well-produced video underscores the significant role clergy play in the pro-life movement, as demonstrated in the leadership of Fr.

We can never underestimate the importance of such essential work. -- Most Rev. Thomas V. Daily, DD Bishop of Brooklyn

Dear Catholic Faithful: Among the numerous groups worthy of mention that seek to promote a "Culture of Life," I wish to commend the efforts of the Priests for Life under the inspiration of Fr. Frank Pavone ... I enthusiastically support their efforts, and, in particular within our diocese, those of Mr. Michael Colicchio and Mrs. Lisa Morris who are among the first lay affiliates. An essential part of the endeavors of the Missionaries of the Gospel of Life entails the creation of "Life Cells" consisting of lay affiliate members who make certain commitments to prayer, personal study, and pro-life work to the extent that their duties permit. As such, Mike and Lisa seek to start up three initial "Life Cells" within the Diocese beginning with Knoxville, Chattanooga and Johnson City. In support of Mike an Lisa's efforts, I encourage you to learn more about the Missionaries of the Gospel of Life by visiting their website at www.priestsforlife.org. Priests for Life has contributed significantly to the promotion of a "Culture of Life" by helping to save lives, strengthening families and bringing countless people to a deeper appreciation of the great gift of life and the dignity of each and every human being. As Mike and Lisa go forth with my blessing, I ask you to be supportive of their efforts. May God continue to bless you. Sincerely yours in the Lord -- Most Rev. Joseph E. Kurtz, D.D., Bishop of Knoxville

At the beginning of my mission here in the United States of America, it has been my pleasure to know of you and the good work of Priests for Life. As the personal representative of His Holiness Pope John Paul II in this great country, I can assure you of the Holy Father's deep appreciation for your noble efforts and initiatives on behalf of the Gospel of Life.

Let us hope that this support increases as well as the priest members. May the Lord and our Blessed Mother bless Priests for Life. -- His Eminence Alfonso Cardinal Lopez Trujillo, Pontifical Council for the Family
The pro-life work of Priests for Life, and Father Pavone in particular, has saved lives, strengthened families and brought countless numbers of people to a deeper appreciation of the great gift of life and the dignity of each and every human being. Priests for Life has been arguably one of the most important movements in the history of North American Church. With the establishment of the Missionaries of the Gospel of Life even greater spiritual strength will be added to the most urgent goal of ending abortion and other pro-death practices in our society. -- Most Reverend Robert J. Baker, Bishop Birmingham
A Study Guide to Humanae Vitae, Of Human Life has just been published this year by “Priests for Life” and carries my Imprimatur. This small book would be an excellent tool for study of Humanae Vitae for clergy and laity involved in working with families, couples preparing for the Sacrament of Matrimony, and Catholic students - all of whom face the real issues of life that Humanae Vitae deals with. -- Most Reverend Robert J. Baker, Bishop Birmingham

Its members are committed to serving the Gospel of Life through prayer, personal study, and pro-life work. There are already members of the Missionaries of the Gospel of Life at work in our diocese. I pray that their prayers and efforts will bear abundant fruit. We are all called to welcome and to share the Gospel of Life. We see the image of God's glory in every human person. May the Lord strengthen all of us in the holy task of serving life, of respecting and serving the dignity of every human person. -- Most Reverend Kevin C. Rhodes, Bishop of Harrisburg (February 2009)
First of all, a word of welcome to all of you who are attending this Leadership Seminar and especially to Dr. Theresa Burke, Kevin Burke and Janet Morana from Rachel’s Vineyard who are leading this programme. I am most grateful to you for travelling from the other side of the Atlantic to be with us at Leeds Trinity & All Saints and for helping us in this venture. The work of Rachel’s Vineyard is well known to me and is something I have eagerly encouraged to this diocese. At first hand, I have witnessed the work it undertakes and of the tender compassion, in the name of Christ, it brings about. Many today look on abortion as a curative solution to an unwanted problem; few speak of the traumatic after-effects of those who have procured a termination and have subsequently come to realize the import of what has indeed taken place. I had very much hoped to be with you for much of this day, but due to the impending death of a great friend of mine I find myself having to travel elsewhere to make my farewells. I pray earnestly for the success of this week-end, for all who are facilitating and leading it, for all who are participating in the seminars and for all who, as a result of what happens here, will be touched by the gentle and healing mercy of the Lord through your care. Devotedly and with my blessing, -- Arthur Roche, Bishop of Leeds
Dear Fr. Pavone: Thank you very much for your kind remembrance of my anniversary of Episcopal ordination of 34 years ago!

Sincerely, Bishop James Clifford Timlin, Bishop Emeritus of Scranton, PA
Dear Fr. Pavone: Your prayers are greatly appreciated. Thank you also for everything you and Priests for Life do to protect our most vulnerable unborn brothers and sisters. Please know that you and everyone at Priests for Life remain in my prayers and that I am Fraternally yours in Christ, +Michael J. Sheridan, Bishop of Colorado Springs
"The Rachel's Vineyard Retreat experience provides a wonderful opportunity for the healing ministry of Jesus to continue in our Church. Psychologically and spiritually, we know the deep effect that abortion has on all those involved, particularly the parents and especially the woman who has made this decision. Christ reaches out to all who need healing and Rachel's Vineyard is a beautiful way to extend the healing ministry of Christ to women and men who need his compassion and love. I am grateful to the retreat team who are so willing to walk with those who seek healing and grace. What a great ministry for our Church to concretely bring the love of Jesus to His people!" - Bishop Rozanski, Auxiliary Bishop of Baltimore, Maryland

I continue to be grateful to all those involved in Rachel's Vineyard ministry for bringing hope, healing and reconciliation to so many within the Archdiocese of Newark. -- Most Rev. John J. Myers, Archbishop of Newark (February 1, 2012)
September 2011 Dear Supporters of Priests for Life, Over my ten years as Auxiliary Bishop of Cleveland, I crossed paths many times with Father Frank Pavone. During all this time I have found him dedicated to the preservation of life for the unborn. He and I both work and pray for the day when we will eliminate this horrendous evil from the face of the earth. Supporting abortion happens to be the politically correct stance to take these days. God would love to restore the peace and love found in the Garden of Eden before the fall. It is our challenge in this age to build up the Kingdom of God. We will only achieve this goal if we let his will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Please keep Father Pavone in your prayers. ... The work he had done since founding Priests for Life must continue as we face the future. Please continue to support Priests for Life. I was proud to stand up with Father Pavone when he asked me to serve on the Advisory Board of Bishops. Every opportunity that comes my way to stand up for life will find me speaking out against abortion. Let us pray, pray and pray some more for the mothers carrying infants in their wombs. Also, let us pray for those who perform the abortions and work in those clinics for they need God’s grace to see the evil of their deeds. God bless! (Most Rev.) Roger W. Gries, O.S.B., Auxiliary Bishop of Cleveland
Please know of my appreciation for your leadership in the promotion of the Gospel of Life throughout the United States of America. - Most Rev. Alfred A Schlert, Bishop of Allentown, PA (August 27, 2019)
In the capacity of National Director, I know Fr. Pavone has traveled the length and breadth of our country encouraging Catholic Priests to actively participate in the pro-life movement. I know of no effort more noble, more timely or important than the recruitment of our clergy in the cause for life. --John Cardinal O'Connor, Archbishop of New York
I have known Fr. Pavone and have followed the work of Priests for Life for many years, and have witnessed the expansion of this ministry to its current international scope, as well as to its widespread engagement of the laity in service to the most vulnerable of God's children in the proclamation of the Gospel of Life. -- Renato Raffaele Cardinal Martino, President, Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, Vatican City (2008).

Its crucially important work is needed and appreciated." -- Most Rev. Timothy M. Dolan, Archbishop of New York, Dec. 6, 2010

Dear Father Frank,
I just want you to know that I am so inspired by what you do in the Pro Life Movement. Who would have thought that you would become such a “luminary” as Fr. John Sorrento used to call priests who did something worth while? Blessings to you dear Father, and May our Holy Mother continue to watch over you.

- Archbishop Anthony, The Archdiocese of New York (Orthodox)

- Rev. William G. Curlin

Thank you for your support and for the commitment to your organization to the dignity of human life. With every best wish and warm personal regards, I am Fraternally yours, Rev. Howard J. Hubbard, Bishop of Albany

Thank you for your kindness in sending me the Priests for Life Study Guide for the document, Living the Gospel of Life, issued by bishops of the United States in 1998. The current controversy regarding Catholic politicians and the issue of abortion underscores how timely and necessary your Study Guide is. While some of the energy surrounding this question is created by the proximity of elections, the situation is one which is the fruit of many years' development, and a true change of heart among Catholic politicians will take much time and effort. I believe the bishops of our country are committed to that process, and the Priests for Life Study Guide will be very helpful in this important undertaking. Thanking you for devoted ministry which gives a voice to the voiceless unborn, I am Sincerely yours in Christ,
-- Most Rev. William J. Levada, (previously) Archbishop of San Francisco

"Your seminars were extraordinarily well-received. Many of our priests and deacons expressed to me that they thought your presentations were among the most practical and theologically sound we have heard on the subject of protection of the unborn children..."
-- Most Rev. Rene Gracida, Bishop Emeritus of Corpus Christi

Thank you for presenting at the recent Leadership Conference of the National Catholic Student Coalition. I am elated to learn that the students were enthusiastic about your workshops. That, of course, does not surprise me given your commitment and expertise in the area of respect for human life.
-- Most Rev. Peter A. Rosazza, Auxiliary Bishop, New Haven, CT.

Fr. Frank Pavone, of Priests for Life, is a dynamic and inspiring speaker...
-- Most Rev. Daniel M Buechlein, OSB, Archbishop of Indianapolis.

As you are well aware, the Diocese of Samoa Pago Pago is a missionary diocese 14 degrees South of the equator. We are perhaps one of the more distant locations you service. Our priest's and deacons each receive a copy of the newsletter, and we read with interest the outstanding work you and your brother priests are doing. Be assured of a continuous place in our prayers as you move in to the Jubilee Year and the Third Millennium. Sincerely in the Holy Family,
-- Most Rev. J. Quinn Weitzel, MM, Bishop of Samoa - Pago Pago.

I'd like to thank Priests for Life, therefore, for acknowledging the efforts of The Leaven staff to articulate and promote the church's teaching on this important pro-life issue in a manner accessible to the average Catholic. With gratitude for your personal commitment to proclaim the Gospel of Life, I am Sincerely yours in Jesus the Lord of life,
-- Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann, Archdiocese of Kansas City, KS

From Singapore and Korea I have been watching your presentations on all cable and network stations. You have been consistently excellent. Just what we've been needing and not having. Congratulations in an effort most helpful in setting forth Church teaching! In the Lord,

Your continued prayerful support is also very much appreciated, both for me and the faithful of the diocese. Thank you for your great work.
-- Most Reverend Robert W. Finn, DD, Bishop of Kansas City-St. Joseph.

Cardinal Bevilacqua remains grateful to you and all those associated with Priests of Life for all that you do to protect and defend the sacredness of all human life from the moment of conception to natural death.
-- Reverend Michael F. Burbidge, Administrative Secretary

In encouraging your brother priests to become active in the Pro-Life Movement, you are greatly strengthening the efforts of the entire Church in the United States to bear witness to the Gospel of Life. May the Lord continue to bless your efforts in the years ahead.

– James Cardinal Hickey, Archbishop of Washington

On behalf of the Alliance of the Holy Family International, I would like to thank you for having made the International Clergy Retreat Seminar on the Alliance of the Two Hearts a success. Your valuable contribution has certainly made a big difference to all the priests who participated. The Alliance of the Holy Family movement highly respects your expertise and its contribution to its family apostolate. I pray that you would continue supporting us. And as we approach the great Jubilee Year, I fervently pray that we can help bring back more souls to the Church and to the practice of the Sacraments. The Holy Mother Church needs your selfless generosity in this great time of need.
-- Ricardo J. Cardinal Vidal, Archbishop of Cebu and AHFI Clergy Chairman

It is very apparent that God is blessing the work of Priests for Life abundantly.

-- Rene H. Gracida, Bishop Emeritus of Corpus Christi

Congratulations on the very fine growth of Priests for Life and the expansion of its service. I am happy and proud to be associated with your group. In Peoria, we are delighted to offer your newsletter in our monthly mailing. As the months and years go along, I know that Priests for Life will have increasing influence in informing and supporting those priests and other ministers who wish to speak up clearly and consistently for the right to life.
-- Most Reverend John J. Myers, Bishop of Peoria (now Archbishop of Newark)

I write today to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous priestly service on behalf of life. Frank, your presentation was really excellent. God has gifted you with an ability to speak well and motivate people effectively. I was especially touched by the nuances you utilized in regards to the Eucharist. The two uses for the sentence "this is my body" will not be forgotten by me and your practical application of a deeper meaning of "do this in remembrance of me" will be worked into many of my own talks in the future.
-- Most Rev. John McCarthy, Bishop Emeritus of Austin

Congratulations on the outstanding interview. Frank, I praise God for articulate, faith-filled young men like you.
-- Paul V. Dudley, Bishop Emeritus of Sioux Falls

I have always noted that your own talks are pithy, very much to the point, very easy to listen to and extremely powerful. I am in complete agreement with everything that His Eminence (Cardinal O’Connor) says about you in his letter of endorsement. I can only say that he chose wisely and well when he selected Father Frank Pavone to be his ambassador around the country in promotion of the pro-life message and, in particular, Priests for Life.
-- Most Rev. James M. Moynihan, Bishop of Syracuse

I invoke the Lord’s blessings upon your important work.
-- Archbishop Agostino Cacciavillan, Apostolic Pro-Nuncio to the United States

I appreciate your leadership in the ministry of reverence for life and support for priests in pastoral assignments to teach and promote the Church's teachings.
-- Most Reverend Elden Francis Curtiss, Archbishop of Omaha

I also want to thank you and your staff for all Priests for Life does to promote human life in this increasingly more strident culture of death in the nation.
-- Most Reverend Elden Francis Curtiss, Archbishop of Omaha

I want you to proceed with The Gabriel Project within the area. I appreciate the content of the brochure you included, and I have trust in the quality of materials which are prepared by Priests for Life.

I am pleased to participate in a small way in this program. I want to assure you of our desire to assist the program in every possible way.

Congratulations on the great effort you give to Priests for Life and for all you do so well. "Thank you" and God bless you and all you do for the unborn.
-- Most Rev. James Niedergeses, Bishop Emeritus of Nashville, TN

Rachel’s Vineyard Ministries began as a single weekend retreat held on the grounds of Blessed Virgin Mary Church in Darby, PA, for persons suffering emotional and spiritual pain from their participation in abortion. From this small seed, in only eight years this ministry has grown to offer over 1200 retreats across the United States, and now spreading to many countries throughout the world. The retreat process has been effective in bringing relief from the suffering that is common to many persons after abortion; nightmares, depression, anxiety, difficulties in relationships and a host of other symptoms that can bring great personal, relational and family suffering. With effective healing programs like Rachel’s Vineyard, we can help to bring and end to this suffering, and help bring healing to individuals, couples and families.
-- Cardinal Justin Rigali, Archbishop of Philadelphia

[Regarding Priests for Life: A Global Mission] – thank you for sending me the video on the work of Priests for life. While I had already known of the significant efforts Priests for Life is making in the cause of human life, the video certainly enriched both my understanding and appreciation. Know that you are in my prayer as you reach out to more and more clergy and engage them in service of the Gospel of Life. Thank you for your own wonderful leadership.
-- Most Rev. Richard J Malone, Auxiliary Bishop of Boston, South Region

[Regarding Priests for Life: A Global Mission] – An engaging presentation of the ministry of priests for life, this well-produced video underscores the significant role clergy play in the pro-life movement, as demonstrated in the leadership of Fr. Frank Pavone and his associates. I commend Priests for Life for challenging that part of our culture that fails to show respect for life from conception to natural demise. We can never underestimate the importance of such essential work.
-- Most Rev. Thomas V. Daily, DD Bishop of Brooklyn

As the National Director of Priests for Life, and one who recently began a new community of priests permanently dedicated to full time pro-life work, Father Frank Pavone is one of the most prominent Pro-Life leaders in the nation. – Most Rev.

Dear Catholic Faithful: Among the numerous groups worthy of mention that seek to promote a "Culture of Life," I wish to commend the efforts of the Priests for Life under the inspiration of Fr. Frank Pavone ... I enthusiastically support their efforts, and, in particular within our diocese, those of Mr. Michael Colicchio and Mrs. Lisa Morris who are among the first lay affiliates. An essential part of the endeavors of the Missionaries of the Gospel of Life entails the creation of "Life Cells" consisting of lay affiliate members who make certain commitments to prayer, personal study, and pro-life work to the extent that their duties permit. As such, Mike and Lisa seek to start up three initial "Life Cells" within the Diocese beginning with Knoxville, Chattanooga and Johnson City. In support of Mike an Lisa's efforts, I encourage you to learn more about the Missionaries of the Gospel of Life by visiting their website at www.priestsforlife.org. Priests for Life has contributed significantly to the promotion of a "Culture of Life" by helping to save lives, strengthening families and bringing countless people to a deeper appreciation of the great gift of life and the dignity of each and every human being. As Mike and Lisa go forth with my blessing, I ask you to be supportive of their efforts. May God continue to bless you. Sincerely yours in the Lord
-- Most Rev. Joseph E. Kurtz, D.D., Bishop of Knoxville

I am very honored to offer my own approval and endorsement of Priests for Life so that many of our brother priests in the Dioceses and Archdioceses across the country may come to know about your outstanding work and to embrace it as a very special and personal apostolate for themselves.
-- Roger Cardinal Mahony, Archbishop of Los Angeles

At the beginning of my mission here in the United States of America, it has been my pleasure to know of you and the good work of Priests for Life. As the personal representative of His Holiness Pope John Paul II in this great country, I can assure you of the Holy Father's deep appreciation for your noble efforts and initiatives on behalf of the Gospel of Life. Invoking the Lord's abundant blessings upon you and your dedicated collaborators, I remain, with cordial greetings, sincerely yours in Christ.
-- Archbishop Gabriel Montalvo, (former) Apostolic Nuncio to the United States

I remember when I first came to know Priests for Life and now see, to my great satisfaction, how the association has grown. I am delighted to see that Priests for Life is associated with so many dioceses and that the bishops are giving you the support you need in this vital ministry. Let us hope that this support increases as well as the priest members. May the Lord and our Blessed Mother bless Priests for Life.
-- His Eminence Alfonso Cardinal Lopez Trujillo, Pontifical Council for the Family

The pro-life work of Priests for Life, and Father Pavone in particular, has saved lives, strengthened families and brought countless numbers of people to a deeper appreciation of the great gift of life and the dignity of each and every human being. Priests for Life has been arguably one of the most important movements in the history of North American Church. With the establishment of the Missionaries of the Gospel of Life even greater spiritual strength will be added to the most urgent goal of ending abortion and other pro-death practices in our society.
-- Most Reverend Robert J. Baker, Bishop Birmingham

A Study Guide to Humanae Vitae, Of Human Life has just been published this year by “Priests for Life” and carries my Imprimatur. This small book would be an excellent tool for study of Humanae Vitae for clergy and laity involved in working with families, couples preparing for the Sacrament of Matrimony, and Catholic students - all of whom face the real issues of life that Humanae Vitae deals with.
-- Most Reverend Robert J. Baker, Bishop Birmingham

Protecting the unborn and defending the most vulnerable in our society is at the very heart of the Church’s mission, and she commends PFL/Missionaries of the Gospel of Life for their many laudable contributions toward that end
-- Most Reverend Patrick Zurek, Bishop of Amarillo (September 2008)

I am happy to approve and allow the Missionaries of the Gospel of Life, a lay association of the faithful affiliated with Priests for Life, to be active in the Diocese of Harrisburg. This canonically approved association has a noble and holy mission of witness to the sanctity of human life. Its members are committed to serving the Gospel of Life through prayer, personal study, and pro-life work. There are already members of the Missionaries of the Gospel of Life at work in our diocese. I pray that their prayers and efforts will bear abundant fruit. We are all called to welcome and to share the Gospel of Life. We see the image of God's glory in every human person. May the Lord strengthen all of us in the holy task of serving life, of respecting and serving the dignity of every human person.
-- Most Reverend Kevin C. Rhodes, Bishop of Harrisburg (February 2009)

First of all, a word of welcome to all of you who are attending this Leadership Seminar and especially to Dr. Theresa Burke, Kevin Burke and Janet Morana from Rachel’s Vineyard who are leading this programme. I am most grateful to you for travelling from the other side of the Atlantic to be with us at Leeds Trinity & All Saints and for helping us in this venture. The work of Rachel’s Vineyard is well known to me and is something I have eagerly encouraged to this diocese. At first hand, I have witnessed the work it undertakes and of the tender compassion, in the name of Christ, it brings about. Many today look on abortion as a curative solution to an unwanted problem; few speak of the traumatic after-effects of those who have procured a termination and have subsequently come to realize the import of what has indeed taken place. I had very much hoped to be with you for much of this day, but due to the impending death of a great friend of mine I find myself having to travel elsewhere to make my farewells. I pray earnestly for the success of this week-end, for all who are facilitating and leading it, for all who are participating in the seminars and for all who, as a result of what happens here, will be touched by the gentle and healing mercy of the Lord through your care. Devotedly and with my blessing,
-- Arthur Roche, Bishop of Leeds

Dear Fr. Pavone: Thank you very much for your kind remembrance of my anniversary of Episcopal ordination of 34 years ago! I am grateful for your thoughtfulness and prayers and for all you do for God’s little one’s. God Bless you and your important work for God.

Sincerely, Bishop James Clifford Timlin, Bishop Emeritus of Scranton, PA

Dear Fr. Pavone: Your prayers are greatly appreciated. Thank you also for everything you and Priests for Life do to protect our most vulnerable unborn brothers and sisters. Please know that you and everyone at Priests for Life remain in my prayers and that I am Fraternally yours in Christ,

+Michael J. Sheridan, Bishop of Colorado Springs

"The Rachel's Vineyard Retreat experience provides a wonderful opportunity for the healing ministry of Jesus to continue in our Church. Psychologically and spiritually, we know the deep effect that abortion has on all those involved, particularly the parents and especially the woman who has made this decision. Christ reaches out to all who need healing and Rachel's Vineyard is a beautiful way to extend the healing ministry of Christ to women and men who need his compassion and love. I am grateful to the retreat team who are so willing to walk with those who seek healing and grace. What a great ministry for our Church to concretely bring the love of Jesus to His people!"
- Bishop Rozanski, Auxiliary Bishop of Baltimore, Maryland

Thank you for the work you do to defend the life of the most defenseless. The ministry of Priests for Life is a much-needed work in order to overcome the culture of death. Please be assured of my continued prayers for Priests for Life.

I continue to be grateful to all those involved in Rachel's Vineyard ministry for bringing hope, healing and reconciliation to so many within the Archdiocese of Newark.
-- Most Rev. John J. Myers, Archbishop of Newark (February 1, 2012)

September 2011 Dear Supporters of Priests for Life, Over my ten years as Auxiliary Bishop of Cleveland, I crossed paths many times with Father Frank Pavone. During all this time I have found him dedicated to the preservation of life for the unborn. He and I both work and pray for the day when we will eliminate this horrendous evil from the face of the earth. Supporting abortion happens to be the politically correct stance to take these days. God would love to restore the peace and love found in the Garden of Eden before the fall. It is our challenge in this age to build up the Kingdom of God. We will only achieve this goal if we let his will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Please keep Father Pavone in your prayers. ... The work he had done since founding Priests for Life must continue as we face the future. Please continue to support Priests for Life. I was proud to stand up with Father Pavone when he asked me to serve on the Advisory Board of Bishops. Every opportunity that comes my way to stand up for life will find me speaking out against abortion. Let us pray, pray and pray some more for the mothers carrying infants in their wombs. Also, let us pray for those who perform the abortions and work in those clinics for they need God’s grace to see the evil of their deeds. God bless! (Most Rev.) Roger W. Gries, O.S.B., Auxiliary Bishop of Cleveland

Please know of my appreciation for your leadership in the promotion of the Gospel of Life throughout the United States of America.
- Most Rev. Alfred A Schlert, Bishop of Allentown, PA (August 27, 2019)

In the capacity of National Director, I know Fr. Pavone has traveled the length and breadth of our country encouraging Catholic Priests to actively participate in the pro-life movement. I know of no effort more noble, more timely or important than the recruitment of our clergy in the cause for life.
--John Cardinal O'Connor, Archbishop of New York

I have known Fr. Pavone and have followed the work of Priests for Life for many years, and have witnessed the expansion of this ministry to its current international scope, as well as to its widespread engagement of the laity in service to the most vulnerable of God's children in the proclamation of the Gospel of Life.

Praise for our Online Masses and Other Broadcasts

..please pass on to Father my appreciation and thankfulness to him for his unwavering, holy commitment to life and to our constitutional republic and its defenders. Father's prayer this morning was what so many of us needed to be fed spiritually. (Father's prayers always are.) I have posted and shared it, along with the prayer for tonight. At a time when the diabolical is so strong among us, and Catholic leadership so often buckles into its temptation and joins in its efforts--Father Frank stands apart as a defender of Jesus' truth and justice, crying out in the wilderness. So many prayers for Father, his health and protection. Prayers for you and the team in this new year. - Jennifer
My husband is on the same page as me as far as abortion is concerned. We love to watch the masses and nightly programs of Fr. Frank Pavone. We cannot tell you how much we appreciate his support for our country, President Trump, and the Pro-Life agenda. As for me, Fr. Pavone is one of the best reasons for being a Catholic. I have been so very disillusioned with the catholic faith via other priests and bishops. Fr. Pavone helps me hang on to the Catholic faith as I cry about how the magisterium has let me down.
Thank you Fr. Pavone, great teaching for us, wonderful homily!! - Socorro
Very good scripture Father Frank very informational. Thank you God bless you. - Doreen
Thank you for your commitment to Jesus and us Father Pavone May Jesus Christ strengthen you and keep you healthy - John Thank you Fr. Frank for this inspirational and educational homily. God bless you as you continue to do His work - Terry

Fr. thank you for the beautiful mass and well spoken homily it made me feel relax before my procedure. God Bless! - Tracy
This is my second time hearing this sermon... It is absolutely Filled with the Holy Spirit of the Living God of all of us! Praise be to Jesus. Amen.. I have never heard any priest explain this miracle of life so well. God is with us all folks! Amen.. - Patricia
Thank you Father Pavone for your great sermon and translations of scripture. - Theresa
Thank you Father for this Most enlightening of Sermons about abortion and how it is so wrong in thought, word and deed! I pray many see and hear this mass and brings them to a better understanding as to why abortion is an insult to God the Father of all of us. – Patricia
You are in fire 🔥 with the Holy Spirit father. Praise God - Denise

Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for giving us Father Frank Pavone for always nourishing our soul with his beautiful homilies that lift up our spirits and continue to trust in your goodness and Greatness. - Mariles
Thank you everyone at Priests for Life for all that you do to protect the unborn. Also, Fr. Frank’s beautiful and meaningful homilies are a daily source of hope for all who are experiencing weariness during these very difficult times in our nation. Sending my deepest gratitude for being renewed each day by joining the 10 a.m. mass. Love, Jacqueline
Father Frank and the Ministry of Priests for Life has been an incredible gift to me and many others as we navigate (with Christ's) through these very uncertain times. My mother mentioned Father Frank and his Pro Life ministry to me around 15 yrs ago. Mom was a beautiful example of Christ and was very active in her parish pro life ministry... She was faithful in this ministry up until cancer took her life. Unfortunately, I never bothered to look up Father Frank. The day after the 2020 election I received a Facebook post from Diamond and Silk that promoted a nighttime prayer featuring Dr. Alveda King and Father Pavone. This was definitely a timely gift from God that I needed. I have been sharing many of the daily masses and other ministry programs with many of my family and friends. Many appreciate and are blessed by your ministry… Praying for Gods hand of protection and supporting your life giving Christ centered ministry. Thank you. - Timothy
Thank you Father Frank. For this beautiful homily. That's bring us closer to our father Jesus christ.. - Connie
Dear Father Pavone and all priests for life, I join you from the north east of England, almost daily for the Rosary. I particularly enjoy Holy Hour and the Sorrowful mysteries and the wonderful and meaningful commentary .... The deep and thoughtful commentary enables me to remain focussed and I really feel like I’m ‘with’ Christ in his sufferings. Each night I trace back to this particular Holy Hour and place all my concerns with the Lord. God is certainly working overtime in the USA re your Pro life mission thank to the most unlikely person in Donald Trump – but then that’s how God works. - Thank you and God Bless you all so much - Geraldine
Hello Fr. Pavone, I have followed a couple of your presentation on youtube which have really helped strengthening my pro-life views. - Joseph
Dear Father Frank: Thank you for your tireless work on behalf of the unborn, the disenfranchised, those who are outcasts or disabled or rejected, lonely, sick, depressed! You are a gifted leader. Thank you for your service to our President, serving on his ProLife Team! We are all the better for the efforts of those members and for the Catholics for Trump group. The nation and our President and Vice President need our prayers, help and support now more than ever. You letter is “Right on!” You see through the smokescreen to the reality of what has happened, is happening and what needs to be done. You have my full support in separating the wheat from the chaff, the legal from the illegal, the legitimate from the illegitimate, the Fake News and Lies from The Truth, the Evil from the Good. Thank God for you and your colleagues/teammates,including the wonderful Dr.Alveda King (it must get lonely at times), and thank God for this Trump-Pence administration. The Deep State, Swamp and MSM have been an unending obstacle course for our President, yet he soldiers on, with global, national and more quiet locally-impacting achievements that are often ignored or dismissed by these enemies. He has courage, strength and endurance plus tenacity that can only come from God Himself. The prayer you composed is beautiful and powerful. My plan is to pray it often. I have watched you, off and on, for years on EWTN; however, with this election cycle, I really became a bit of a “groupie.” I looked forward to tuning in on RSBN in recent weeks for the Trump rallies, as so many did. I have been moved by the evangelization of you, Dr. King, Rev. Franklin Graham, Pastor Robert Jeffress, Rachel Campos-Duffy and Sr. Dierdre “Dede” Byrne, P.O.S.C., M.D. and by the newest SCOTUS Justice Amy Coney Barrett.... ... I am willing to fight for this President’s [Trump] Administration and for Life, as this, I believe is precisely what Our Lord, Jesus Christ, expects of us! Thank you for being an example for us to follow! May God continue to bless, protect and guide you and your ministry, your “team(s)”, our President and Vice President, all of your dear ones, your “entourages”, our great nation, the defenseless least among us, and people of Good Will everywhere. Respectfully and with love and prayers, - Maureen
God bless you Fr. Frank. You are an absolute gem, a true treasure of the Church. May Mary keep you very safe in Her Immaculate Heart and under Her Mantle of Protection. (I will be tuning in nightly (as often as possible) to hear your inspiring, powerful, insightful and comforting words of Truth. May God bless you now and forever more.)
Happy Birthday Father! May the Lord bless you and Holy Queen Mother Mary guide you. We so much appreciate and give thanks for your ministry and teaching. Your homilies during daily Mass are truly inspired and essential catechesis to the faithful. In every era there is someone provided by GOD who stands out and guides the faithful. During these exceptionally trying times, you are the leader of all Catholics and Christians. We give thanks to GOD for His gift of you to us. Praised be JESUS! - Robert and Cisca
Dear Father Pavone, My twin sister, Rev. Diane ... and I are ordained Lutheran ministers in the North American Lutheran Church and Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ. Both very Pro-Life. We love and enjoy your blessed programming so very much! In our small way the Lord has used us and our family church. We have always had such a strong love of the unborn. Several things in our life had touched us so deeply for the unborn...My sister and I love the Lord and His precious Mother so much and are glad we can be of assistance in our Lord's work to save those precious little unborn babies. Our older brother is an ordained Lutheran minister and loves the unborn too. Our cousin, Father Michael .... is a Catholic priest who loves the unborn too. Again, we love you and your messages! Pastors Donna and Diane. P. S. M.A.G.A. We love President Trump too!
