Hi Dear Anthony,
yes, not too long ago I received another book from you: "Our Lady's Picture Book".
Very, very beautiful, instructive, creative, inspiring ...
Thank you so much and may our dear Lord Jesus bless you abundantly and,
through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, may he make your work, as well as the mission of Fr. Frank Pavone, abundantly fruitful.
Just now I have sent the offering...that I planned to make already time ago.
Hopefully, with the help of God this burden of the $100,000 loan payment will soon be taken away from his shoulders.
I will pray fervently for Fr. Frank's health and for complete success in the open heart surgery he has to undergo on May 11.
Many blessings to all of you
Fr. Johannes

Priests for Life has helped me, a priest, to understand how my silence and cowardice on abortion uniquely and significantly contributes to this horror of horrors and the often decades-long suffering that follows, and to offer to those who suffer the hope of healing that Our Lord so generously and graciously desires to give. Through the abundant resources available on the Priest for Life website, I as a priest have gained the vocabulary and understanding to speak confidently about abortion from the pulpit, in the classroom, in the confessional, and even in places like the airport “on the spot”, for as St. Paul said, “God hath not given us a spirit of fear: but of power, and of love, and of sobriety.” Fr. Jim Marshall, S.J.

Since my seminary days, Priests for Life — through its apostolic witness and mission programs — has provided me with invaluable resources for pastoral ministry, particularly in the promotion of Church teaching on the sanctity of human life. For thirty years, Priests for Life has been active in this great campaign in support of life and continues to provide vital educational resources that advocate for unborn children and their mothers. I have especially found its efforts to educate Catholics on the moral exercise of the citizenship rights and obligations of the faithful with respect to democratic elections to be very helpful. I am grateful to Priests for Life and its affiliated ministries for their support of priests, unwavering defense of human dignity, and unapologetic proclamation of the Gospel of Life. May Almighty God bless its good efforts and bring them to completion. Rev. Father Shenan James Boquet President of Human Life International 4 Family Life Lane Front Royal, VA 22630 Office: 540.622.5267 www:hli.org

Dear Fr. Frank, I was privileged to be part of Priests for Life several years ago as a seminarian. The pro-life education that I received then has remained with me to this day, and I reference it often in my pastoral ministry. The benefit of the work of Priests for Life cannot be overestimated. With resources stretched-thin both in terms of finances and personnel in the Church in the United States, it is difficult to adequately address the multi-dimensional needs of the Pro-Life effort from a diocesan perspective. Consequently, it is left to other NGOs and Church-based organizations to "fill the gap." Priests for Life and its affiliated ministries have done this so well. As I have watched PFL grow over the past twenty years, I have been impressed with the number of ministries under its "umbrella:" 'The Silent No More Awareness Campaign,' 'Rachel's Vineyard Retreat,' 'Seminarian and Deacons for Life,' and outreach to the African American community and youth with Bryan Kemper. In addition, you accomplish it with a very small staff. All of these ministries accomplish for the Pro-Life movement what cannot be achieved uniformly throughout the United States, namely, keeping the issue of the dignity of the unborn human person in our consciousness, continually and even heroically. As a Catholic priest, I am grateful for all of the work that you and PFL have done for the Church in America and indeed for the entire country. May God continue to bless your good efforts and bring them to completion with the restoration of the dignity of the human person, especially the unborn child, in the United States and throughout the world. In the peace and victory of our Risen Savior, Fr. David P. Begany, SSJ Pastor, Holy Family Catholic Church, Baytown, TX

Dear Father Frank Pavone, I am an ardent supporter of your Right to Life Ministry. Thank you for championing the rights of the unborn in the Archdiocese of Hartford. Prior to my retirement several years ago, I served as priest chaplain for seven years for Rachel's Vineyard in our Archdiocese. Father, I am filled with joy knowing that you continue in active ministry. Father Paul, CT

Fr. Frank, THANK YOU for the open letter to the Bishops. Extremely well written. God bless you. In Christ and Mary, -Fr. Alan, O. Praem.
|
|
Your respectful, mature open letter [to the Pastors of the US] speaks to Truth, Way and Life revealed in Jesus Christ. The call to be successors to the Apostles Is deeply serious, it’s Heaven or hell and the fear of one or the other must define each and every one who claims to believe in God: Father Son and Spirit in actions words and deeds. Discipleship means obeying the Command of God. Peace and joy! Father Richard D.

Dear Rev. Frank Pavone, I hope that you are well. I’m Father Mateus ... from the Diocese of Worcester, 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. Fr. Pavone, I’ve been following your page on Facebook and I had the chance to see all your several activities. Radio, Tv and Pro-life movements are also some of my interests. I also had my own radio show ... and a podcast with the same name. I would like to know more about “Priests for Life” and also I would like to take the media evangelization more seriously in my own ministry. I would like to know if there are ways to get involved. God bless you. Rev. Mateus

Yes! Thank you for preaching the BIBLICAL truth Fr. Frank! – Rev. Brian

We received a phone message from a Fr. Quinn – he is from Greenbay WI. He wanted to express his Thankfulness to Fr. Frank for his leadership in the pro-life community. He said that he stands in solidarity with Fr. Frank for the pro-life cause as well as for our Country. He is a 45 year old priest – has been a priest for 15 years. He was a Poly Sci major so sees the importance of saving our Republic. He said that Fr. Frank is a huge encouragement to him and other priests.
|
Fr. Frank, It was my great pleasure to have spoken to you at the West Coast Walk for Life... I support totally your work and the efforts of Priests for Life to end this evil of abortion in our land and the world. Your letter to the bishops included everything I have felt for years. - Fr. Macklin
|
Dear Father Frank Pavone and Mrs. Janet Morana, I would just like to thank all the support given to the seminarian Fernando Paiva during his stay in the US, including his attendance in the Retreat / Conference of August 16 21. I congratulate you for this initiative, which happens to be within the scope of his formation in the Gospel of Life issues, included in his path towards priesthood. My warmest regards, Padre Carlos Rosmaninho, Vice Rector of Seminario Maior de S. Paulo

In the years that I have been ordained I can never remember meeting a newly ordained priest such as Father Frank Pavone who had such a clear cut agenda of his own from the first day he was ordained. He knew exactly what he wished to devote himself to as well as how he would use his time in the priesthood to achieve his goals. Father Pavone wished to become an apologist - a defender of the Faith through his teaching, writing, and preaching. He is a clear and thorough communicator, whether it be in the written or verbal format. Father Pavone's homilies at St. Charles were always a thorough discussion of the topic that he had chosen to discuss on Sunday. During his time at St. Charles Father Pavone conducted Pre-Cana classes for the young people of Staten Island who were preparing for marriage. He conducted in-service Religious Education classes for teachers in the parochial schools of Staten Island. He also taught classes at St. Joseph's Seminary in the formation program for Permanent Deacons. Each Friday evening Father Pavone conducted a scripture class in the rectory. More recently he has been seen on Cable T.V. giving a series of talks on the Catholic Faith. He has published a newsletter which he sends to over 1200 people all over the country. On the first Sunday of each month Father Pavone prepared an informative insert for the bulletin dealing with an issue of faith or morals. Obviously, Father Pavone is an individual of tremendous capacity. He is highly organized in the use of his time, otherwise he would not have been able to carry on so many outside activities. The people of our parish have benefited from Father's compassionate approach to all peni¬tents in the confessional. He has always been most agreeable in making himself available to serve people's needs. St. Charles Parish is a much richer parish because of Father Pavone's presence in it during the past 4V2 years. It is our prayer that this talented young priest will continue to serve God and His Church as The National Director of Priests for Life. May God Bless his efforts! - Msgr. Thomas J. Gaffney

I am indebted to [the] television station EWTN for introducing me to people like you, with strong orthodox convictions and relentless defenders of the Church and the Pope. You have helped me immensely in sustaining and even elevating my faith, hope, and love of God and the Church. Rev. CC, OH
|
Thank you. Keep up your good work. Fr. JR, MA
|
It was so good having you here at My Father’s House for our Pro-Life retreat! Everyone raved about the weekend and marveled at your insuring words. Fr. Bill McCarthy, MSA
|
...I have followed and supported your work since then and admire your zeal and authentic research on the right to Life issues....- Fr. Bill Whelan
|
Thank you for the bulletin inserts for respect life Sunday. Your generosity and kindness is a true catholic witness and aids us in proclaiming the Gospel. Peace & Prayers, Father Robert Zurlling
|
Dear Fr. Frank, Please know that as your brother presbyter I am more than proud for your efforts to wake up this very corrupt society in the USA. I am a priest from the ancient Archdiocese of Smyrna, present "Izmir," in Turkey, and very much appreciate your apostolate defending the most precious gift we had received from God Himself: Life. May God bless you and constantly assist you in your ministry and in every single effort for you to teach all that life must be respected. Thank you for writing on sexual abuse, people need to know even more about what that means in the life of a person. Asking your prayers for my health, the reason of my presence in California, I promise to remember you before the Lord. Very fraternally yours in Christ-God and in the Theotokos, Our Lady of Ephesus, fr. Fausto Zelaya
|
Dear Fr. Pavone, I am a Jesuit scholastic who cares deeply about the issue of abortion and would like to see more and more women and doctors say yes to life and no to abortion. I would like to see Roe Vs. Wade overturned and I would like our country to someday look back in amazement and wonder at what we did to so many innocent unborn children for so many years. So, thank you for your passion and persistence in your work for ending a culture of abortion.
|
I just wanted to let you know that your e-mail newsletters are very informative and truly expose the great harm done to women and the unborn in the great tragedy of abortion. I wish to continue receiving these newsletters by way of e-mail ... Thank you for all that you do in helping women and the unborn! Sincerely,
-- Fr. Tom
|
I would like to take this opportunity to thank your organization, Priests For Life, for the generous gift of pro-life literature for our library. All my best wishes for the New Year and to Priests For Life as it continues its excellent work on behalf of the unborn and defenseless. - Rev. Jerome Young, OSB
|
At a time when our pre born brothers and sisters lost their protection to come into this world free from any danger, at a time when so many in our culture lost perspective, even in the church, here you responded to a call to speak out to begin a process to lay foundation of a civilization of life and love. This is how we were created to be, this, I pray is our future that we must strive somehow to create, You have guided us in light of our gospel and church. I pray that the best in us human beings will emerge to live a consistent ethic of life from the beginning of life to the end. Thank you for your courageous inspirational leadership. - Fr. Jim Heyd
|
I also encourage you and the work of priests for life. I hope some day the scourge abortion may be limited from our great land.
Your brother in Christ’s priesthood,
Robert James Arenz
|
It is a pleasure to work with you, Fr. Frank, In the cause of life,In relishing your friendship, And in knowing your steadfast yearning For the truth that sets us free – The Lord Himself!!

You do a super job in providing materials. We are able to use them here quite often.
- Fr. Mark

Thanks be to God for Father Frank Pavone! A brother, Father Bob Poandl
|
I am encouraged and inspired by your further explanation about life issue. I have commitment of defending life. I firmly believe that this is our duty. During ten years of my pastoral life, we had seminar, preaching and discussing regarding defending life. But due to lack of sources, we could not do much. I believe you can provide me some sources, such as bulletin, books and news. I will have in touch with you. Looking forward of hearing from you.
May God bless!
Sincerely, Fr. Modu
|
Dear Father, I wanted to write you and thank you for the wonderful work you are doing. You have the gift of the priesthood but in addition God has called you to lead us priests in life. That comes from God Himself so you have this as a special vocation in addition to your priestly one. Father you are doing great work and I just wanted to write you and let you know how much I appreciate it. - Father Bill Liebert, SVD-Divine Word Residence-Techny, Illinois.

Dear Father:
I want to write to say thank you for doing what others won't. I pray that one day we can say to God, we have fought the good fight, and won.
Rev. Mark Ryan, Wesley UMC, Iron River, MI

I would like to thank Fr. Pavone for inviting me to participate in the webinar. .... It was refreshing and edifying to be connected again to the great work that Priests For Life is doing. I marched right over the office for youth ministry at my parish and handed them a DVD for Silent No More and gave them a pitch to have someone come and speak to the teens and young adults. I am also going to use the liturgy resources right away for the prayers of the faithful. Thank you for all you do to save souls and build up the kingdom of Jesus Christ.
Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. Eric Andersen, Beaverton, OR.

Fr. Pavone's Mass was beautiful and the homily on Hebrews was the best I have heard. Thanks for EWTN-TV. The Mass for the 29th of Jan should be repeated often since it explains the Mass so beautifully. It was true evangelization! Check out that great homily!
-- Fr. Martin, AL
|
Those of us who met and heard you in Oregon - priests and laity alike - are mighty glad you came our way. I am personally very grateful to have met you and seen you in action. The homily you gave in Salem was one of the finest I’ve ever heard and certainly gave me a high standard to aim for in following your good example.
-- Fr. Liam
|
I recently copied your letter. I sent it to our Pastor. The very day I gave it to him, he used it as a Homily.
-- LL
|
Thank you for coming to speak at our parish. I was extremely impressed by the message and you as a person. I would love to join Priests for Life. I also saw you on Mother Angelica, and you were terrific!
-- Fr. Patrick
|
Fr. Frank Pavone, the director of Priests for Life gave a stirring, moving, informative and spirit-filled presentation. He is well prepared, well balanced, well informed, and filled with God’s Spirit in the articulation of the Gospel of Life.
-- Fr. Edward
|
The pastor spoke again. This time he was quoting you. He said, "Last time we were gathered here, I remember Fr. Pavone saying, ‘Imagine we are standing outside a killing center in Montclair,’ and for the first time I realized he’s right. There is a killing center in my own town where I am a pastor."
-- Christopher
|
Thanks so much for the video tapes and literature you sent me. I have something in every issue of my bulletins on Sunday that has to do with abortion. The "Priests’ For Life Newsletter" is excellent. I use the word "excellent" very deliberately. It really is excellent.
-- Father Thomas
|
Dear Father Frank: Your newsletter has been a great help to me in my pro-life homilies! Blessings on your super apostolate.
-- Fr. David
|
I enjoyed the article in Crisis magazine by Frank Pavone. Will use it for future preaching.
-- Fr. John
|
Dear Fr. Frank, I marvel at your eloquent, convincing, and "no-holds-barred" presentation of pro-life issues and newsletter, and via the EWTN Global Network which I listen to often as I can.
-- Rev. Julian
|
Dear Father Pavone, during Holy Week, I had a chance to watch EWTN. Although I have contributed to Priests for Life, I had never seen you preach before. I was thrilled! Your talk was the most convincing I have ever heard. And what I found especially powerful was your offer of help before or after an abortion…with a toll free number! God is doing a wonderful work through you. May He continue to bless you and all who work with you. In Gratitude,
-- Fr. Eric, IN
|
Dear Fr. Pavone, Just a note to tell you how much I've enjoyed your columns in our diocesan [paper]! I loved your "Don't oppose abortion, Stop it!" . . . Right on, Frank! Keep on thinking and writing!
-- Msgr. James, WI
|
Many thanks for your site. It is a great help when the pupils from the High School come looking for information on abortion and euthanasia. Keep up the brilliant work.
-- Fr. Smith

Fr. Peter, Thanks for the great research. This was just what I was looking for. Keep up the great work! In Christ,

Fr. Pavone brought up new thoughts and arguments, plus great clarity and enthusiasm.

Thanks for being with us for the Pro-Life assembly, you were excellent. You and the Priests for Life movement are a great credit to the church. Fr. Peter, your words inspire because they are backed with conviction. On behalf of the Salesian priests and brothers, the school administration and the pro-life group, we are extremely grateful. Keep up the good work.
-- Fr. Steve

I’m very interested in the work you are doing and find thoroughly exciting the information on your Web page.

Your full-page (NY Times) advertisement was a welcome relief to see. It was a great article and the best of luck to you.
-- Fr. Mark, CT
|
We are continuing Father’s aggressive Pro-Life Crusade in the Mobile area with a News Conference on Friday at Providence Hospital (Alabama Citizens for Life & Physicians for Life) and had good coverage and quotes in the Mobile press after a great Life-Chain rally and street formation. Additionally, I had three independent sources inform me of priests who are not normally pro-active on life issues - speaking out boldly against Abortion on Sunday...so a PRO-LIFE grassfire is burning in Mobile! Praise God! In the Battle for LIFE
-- Capt. J.D. Smith

Fr. Denis
-- We want to thank you for your powerful homily on the value of all life. Our parishioners needed to hear it and it has had a good effect already.
-- Rev. Daniel, PA
|
This note is occasioned by the report about your talk at the CCL Convention in Cincinnati recently. I am delighted with it. Through the years I have noticed you do a magnificent job fighting abortion. Bravo!
-- Rev. R. F., IL
|
Your talk to the deanery has already born some fruit. For the past two years, we have sponsored a pro-life Mass and procession on January 22. Right after your visit, the Santa Fe deanery decided they would sponsor and arrange this annual event. This is an unprecedented level of pro-life involvement for our local priests and I think it will lead to even greater involvement in the future. – Michael, NM
|
Your homily, your friendly sharing with your brother priests, and your address at the Pro-Life Rally was most inspiring and elicited many favorable comments.
-- Msgr. Leo, NY
|
Wholeheartedly,
I wish to congratulate your "urgent message" which appeared in the New York Times, July 21st. I am certain that the courageous and clear statement will produce great good, and cause many pro-choice advocates to evaluate their position. Do keep up your magnificent ministry. v

Just finished reading the text of Fr. Pavone’s statement to the press last week. It was nothing short of absolutely awesome and awe inspiring!
-- Rev. Joseph
|
I quickly agreed to go to Washington and join priests from many different states who were to stand on the stage with Fr. Frank Pavone. He was to be the official spokesman. Twenty of us went to the National Press Club representing many parts of the country, including California and Idaho. After Fr. Pavone's presentation there were some very pointed questions such as "How do you explain the polls that state that Catholic women receive abortions in about the same numbers as the rest of the nation?" and "How do you feel being involved in a cause that has brought death and violence to abortion providers?" Fr. Pavone answered the questions with remarkable poise and accuracy. The press conference went on for an entire hour, which, we were told, far exceeds the usual time frame. I found the Conference challenging and stimulating. In my trip to Washington, I found Priests for Life using the media to the hilt. It was done in a friendly way and with no compromise with the truth of the Gospel.
-- Msgr. James, OH

Thank-you for providing quality information to assist in the preparation of homilies during this Respect Life Month & pre-election season!
-- Rev. Brian, MI

Thank you,
my brother Priests for your courage and perseverance! I find your website most helpful in getting out the Gospel of Life. I especially like your bulletin inserts.

I congratulate Priest for life and Fr. Frank with the Proudly Pro-Life Award. I am very happy and this information I will send around Lithuania for priests and Lithuanian bishops. I believe it will help to establish Priests for Life in Lithuania.
--- Fr. Robertas
|
I am glad that you exist!
-- Fr. Vasile, Romania
|
Dear Fr. Pavone, Thank you for the material on your homily pages your website. I downloaded 47 pages of notes last week and found them very helpful in talking about abortion this past weekend. I get your newsletter but this is the first time that I really looked in depth at what you offer. Yours is a very worthwhile and helpful ministry Thanks.
-- Fr. Gregory, TX
|
Dear Father Pavone, I’m glad to know you and your works. I would like to say thanking God for your generosity to work God’s works continuing on the earth.
-- Rev. Joseph, LA
|
I appreciate very much your programs on EWTN and your courageous leading of the pro-life movement.
-- Rev. Robert, CO
|
Fr. Pavone, I have intended to write you for years and tell you what great things God does thru you. Your ability to say the same pro-life message in so many different good ways amazes me and radiates the Holy Spirit at work in you. God prosper you always.
-- Rev. J.J., NC
|
I have recently read in the EWTN news that a group of pro-abortionists is beginning to attack Fr. Pavone, and actually lying about his record and his involvement with acts of violence! I only wanted to say that all of you are in my prayers, and that I know that a big spiritual battle is being engaged against Priests for Life, and I am willing to help in anyway I can to defend LIFE and the TRUTH! It is obvious that your work is really producing great effects, otherwise the counterattacks from the enemy would not be so vicious! So PLEASE, keep up your great work all for the Greater glory of God, and again if I can be of any assistance, please let me know! Blessings!
-- Bro. Fernando

I thank the good Lord for the work that you people are doing. I am visiting this site for the first time and hope that I will gain from your resources of knowledge.
-- Rev Fr Stan, Nigeria
|
I am offering this note in affirmation of the principle you articulate that people will not do anything about the carnage of pre-birth human life until they actually see abortion - the dismembered, shredded life in miniature that deserves to lie within the womb in safety yet so terribly, terribly vulnerable to this culture of death that is so all-pervasive in our world today.
-- In Christo frater, Fr. B. J., Australia
|
Encountering your website gives me an inkling that this is one of what I need at the moment to harness more knowledge on some relevant issues that could help me in my present assignment. I'm now working in one of our big university in metro Manila with a population of 26,000 thousand students. Thanks for your website. More power and God bless you
-- Fr. Rod
|
Dear Fr. Frank, Please keep up the great work in the Church’s spiritual battle to capture the hearts of all who have fallen to the apathy or unawareness of the extent of the culture of death that pervades our country. I preached on the issue of abortion and the Respect for all life from conception to natural death this past Sunday on Respect for Life Sunday, and told it like it is to the parishes I preached in.
-- Fr. Mike, MI
|
I would like to congratulate all of you most especially to Fr. Pavone. I always watch your program on cable TV here in the Philippines. I am with you in proclaiming to the world that life is sacred because it comes from God. It is so precious because sent his only begotten Son to purchase it by his blood. More power to all of you there and may God bless you and our mission.
-- Fr. Joenick

I almost forgot to tell Fr. Frank that I have long appreciated his special gift and calling. Thank God someone is in the forefront of this issue.

-- Fr. William
|
Just new to your website and I found that it is interesting and educational. Keep up the good work.
-- Rev. Bernard, Philippines
|
I just listened to another of your excellent pro-life homilies on EWTN, the one in which you draw a parallel between abortion and the worship of Diana/Artemis in the ancient world and quote from a book in which an abortionist (in a sermon of all things!) refers to abortion as a "good" and as a "sacrament". The clarity with which you address the abortion issue is both magnificent and inspiring. Keep up the good work! -... I don’t know anyone who is as effective a spokesperson nor as "right on" as you are with regard to every aspect of the pro-life cause. ...Please know that I continue to offer you my prayerful support and very best wishes in the excellent work you are doing.
-- Fr. Phil

I’m an Italian priest. I have visited your web-site. I make you my best congratulations for your web-site. ... Sincerely in Christ

Thank you immensely for sending me some of your Newsletters. I really found them enriching and easy to read. In fact, I meet my Assistant Parish Priest and gave him one. He was delighted. I told him to get in touch with you for more information and how he can become a member. I’m also contacting other lay Parishioners who are involved in the pro-life activities here in my parish. ... May our Lady’s Mantle cover you always. Yours in Jesus and Mary,

I wish to express my appreciation for all you do. I recently requested and received the lovely package with the video, audios and other materials for priests. I gave it to my pastor, Fr. Joseph... He and I later met to discuss bringing the message to our parish and have agreed to start a Respect Life Committee, of which I will be Chair.

Thanks for your [your brochure] "Answering Pro-abortion Politicians." It will be a big help in my work.
-- Fr. Daniel, OK
|
In desperation my husband asked [our pastor] if he would at least read some material written for priests from Priests for Life. He said that he would. Months later, with no further contact from him, he did preach one pro life homily. I want you to know once again how much we appreciate your work and how it impacted on one church and brought us a sense of hope. To the best of my knowledge, that was the only pro-life homily he ever gave, but we will always be grateful to you for helping him find a way to speak the truth. Sincerely,
-- Bobbie
|
Dear Fr. Frank, It was indeed a pleasure to have you with us last weekend. The proof of a good speaker/homilist is when the talk is longer than usual and there are hardly any complaints about it. You made quite an impression on the entire parish – we have nothing but positive reviews of your inspiring presentation. We thank you for all the information you brought to [us] in the area of Pro-life. The literature, both in the Church bulletin and at the exit of the Church, has given our parish much to think about and several positive ways to react.
-- Fr. Campion, Fr. Lonergan, Fr. Colton and [the entire] parish family.
|
Thanks for giving me words for my homilies.
-- Fr. Tim
|
Fr Frank, as a brother priest, I applaud and encourage you to continue the good work of promoting the Gospel of Life in and through your service to Priests for Life. Thank you for the good word on the progress achieved through prayer and charitable protest, as demonstrated by the recent events in Texas, which also expose the lie of "free choice". Please be assured of my prayers and support. Fraternally in Christ,
-- Fr. Matthew, NC

We priests are so very proud of the work you are doing. Your leadership and guidance in the Pro-Life movement is truly an inspiration to us and for us.

Thank you so much for your presentation to our Archdiocesan Convocation of Priests in Santa Fe. It was such a blessing to have you in our midst and to hear your words of wisdom on the dignity of life. I am so grateful that you touched upon the philosophical issues as well and the present political situation. I imagine it was not a coincidence that President Bush signed the law on that same day banning partial birth abortions. I am sure that many would have wanted you in Washington that day, but we are grateful that you gave your time to us in Santa Fe. I can only imagine the challenges and difficulties you face in the great ministry of Priests for Life. What I admire in you is that you keep such a positive and joyful spirit despite the many difficulties in promoting life. Thank you for being such a good example to me and to so many priests in never giving up on the Victory already won by Jesus Christ. Asking the Lord's blessings upon you and thanking you one again, I am Yours in Christ,
-- Rev. Bennett J. Voorhies, Chancellor, Archdiocese of Santa Fe

Even more than Fr. Pavone's powerful message, I was deeply impressed with his person. Throughout a rather grueling (and sometimes disorganized) weekend, he kept his patience, focus and sense of humor. He adapted beautifully to the time constraints of our morning Mass schedule and he showed resilience when things did not go as smoothly as hoped. Off-the-wall comments didn't seem faze him or throw him off. He took genuine interest in what locals groups are doing and was anxious to talk about new approaches. We had a good conversation about practical things that could be done on a parish level.

Dear Fr. Frank, Greetings from Minna Diocese Nigeria. I have received a kit from the Priests for Life Association. I am indeed very grateful because the materials are very handy and useful in the fight for Life. We had a meeting for Priests in the Catholic Diocese of Minna and I introduced the Association to them. We are going to hold seminars for Priests and Religious on the need to be Pro Life as Priests. Also last week I started the Students for Life Association in the University here…I used some of your materials from the Priests for Life website…It has been wonderful working with the students and I believe that very soon we will be reaching out to other students in other high institutions of learning in the country. Thank you very much for the encouragement you are giving us through your programmes on EWTN and the materials you sent to us.
-- Yours in Christ, Rev. Fr. Chiedozie, Nigeria

Dear Father Pavone,
We are so grateful to you for blessing us by celebrating mass with us today. Your message reminding us that the darkness of the Culture of Death will not have the last word because Christ lives is a source of encouragement to us all. Your ministry is a great blessing to the whole church, and to us here at Holy Apostles, in particular. We are truly edified by your heroic service to the Church. We deeply appreciate you taking time to be here with us especially due to the time constraints on your schedule in light of the upcoming election. Thank you, Father Pavone for your continuing support of Holy Apostles Seminary. May our Lord and His Blessed Mother abundantly bless you and your ministry.
- Sincerely yours in Christ, Rev. Douglas L. Mosey

Fr. Frank:
I have been an admirer of your commitment to being a clear and eloquent voice in our time speaking in defense of life and for the unborn… The Lord has put the conviction in my heart that this is the issue of our time that I need to devote my time and meager ability to addressing it. I take inspiration from you and on more than one occasion have made your words my own. I am associated with a chapel of perpetual adoration ad you are frequently remembered there at the altar. Fr. Mike Roy
