The summer is upon us and

your help is urgently needed NOW!

 

Work with Priests for Life in the fight to protect our

unborn brothers and sisters throughout the summer.

May 2025

Friends,

Donations to Priests for Life dry up every summer as people take vacations and get distracted.

This summer will be no different.

But we can’t afford to cut back any of our work to save babies during the summer. That work must continue without let up or interruption. That’s why I’m counting on you to:

Make a special Summer Pledge and do your part to ensure that Priests for Life is financially able to sustain our fight to protect the youngest members of our human family throughout the summer!

I cannot overstate or over-emphasize just how critically important your Summer Pledge is. 

As I’ve told you in prior letters, donations to Priests for Life thus far in 2025 have fallen way behind actual operational and program costs. Priests for Life needs a major boost of donations to get back on solid financial ground and we need it now.

And without your Summer Pledge our already bleak financial situation will get even worse.

We simply can’t afford for that to happen this year. The abortion fanatics in the Democrat Party, the legacy media and the Mob Left are not taking the summer off.

But the only way Priests for Life can keep up the fight against them these anti-life extremists is with your Summer Pledge, along with pledges from your fellow Priests for Life family members.

So please make as large a Summer Pledge as you can. Your Pledge dollars will empower Priests for Life to sustain all of our work to bring America closer to victory over abortion. And remember:

Priests for Life’s work and mission is YOUR work and mission.

God inspired you to join the Priests for Life family and be a key partner in our pro-life mission because it is through Priests for Life that you carry out your own personal pro-life mission.

So when you give Priests for Life your financial support you actually fund the great pro-life work that you do in your local community, in your state, and in America as a whole.

Speaking of that work, we continue to fight on two fronts: Political and Cultural.

The Political Front

With the election of Donald Trump to the White House and pro-life lawmakers to Congress, God has blessed our nation with a reprieve. He has given us yet another chance to repent of the sin of abortion and return to Him.

You and Priests for Life have responded to this reprieve and are working furiously to take full advantage of this glorious opportunity that God has given us to win more protections for our unborn brothers and sisters as well as their abortion vulnerable mothers.

I’ve told you about this work. It includes Priests for Life’s:

  • Ending Late-term Abortion Project: The purpose of the campaign is to get the United States to join the rest of the civilized world and PROTECT BABIES FROM LATE-TERM ABORTIONS! The United States is one of eight countries that allows abortion on demand without any limits. 73% of Americans OPPOSE abortions after the child has reached 15 weeks development in the womb. Your Summer Pledge dollars will help Priests for Life mobilize a nationwide grassroots movement of people who will demand that their lawmakers protect children from late-term abortions.
     
  • No Tax Dollars for Abortions Campaign: We’ve already had tremendous success with this work. President Trump froze $27.5 million in Title X family-planning grants to Planned Parenthood. That’s just the beginning. Planned Parenthood receives an estimated $700 Million a year in taxpayer dollars. Priests for Life is working with Congress and state legislatures to END all funding for Planned Parenthood.
     
  • Repeal the FACE Act: FACE stands for the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances. It was passed in 1994 to stop peaceful pro-life blockades. But Joe Biden used it to unleash pro-abortion zealots in his Department of Justice to harass, arrest and jail peaceful pro-life Americans. Priests for Life is rallying pro-life activists to make their voices heard on Capitol Hill and get Congress to repeal this unconstitutional abuse of power. While we have nothing to fear from the DOJ while President Trump is in the White House (indeed, he has limited the power of FACE), we need to protect ourselves and our constitutional rights from being violated by a future administration.
     
  • Campaign to Confirm the Appointments of Pro-life Judges: Joe Biden and the Democrats spent the past four years packing our nation’s federal courts with far-left, pro-abortion, liberal judges. Priests for Life will support the Trump administration in appointing – and the Senate in confirming – judges who know the Constitution, respect the rule of law, will protect freedom of conscience for doctors and nurses, defend religious freedom, and protect every American’s God-given right to life.
     
  • State Ballot Initiatives: Even as you read this letter pro-abortion extremists are using the summer to advance their radical agenda. They are out to fool people into changing their state constitutions and make abortion-on-demand legal throughout all nine months of a mother’s pregnancy. Abortion could be on the ballot in as many as eleven states in 2026. Priests for Life is monitoring events in all of these states and is working with pro-life leaders and activists to protect the mothers and babies in those states from becoming victims of abortion.

Those are five of Priests for Life top Political Front objectives. Each one is crucial to our overall effort to make abortion in America UNTHINKABLE and not merely illegal.

It’s vital we take full advantage of this moment because it may not last much longer.


The enemies of life are already gearing up for next year’s mid-term elections. We have to make sure the pro-aborts do not gain seats either in the Senate or the House of Representatives. If they were to take control of Congress, they would put obstacles up each day to the agenda the citizens have voted for, including pro-life policies.

That’s why it’s so important for you to ACT NOW … while pro-lifers have both the White House and Congress on our side.

It’s also why Priests for Life’s Summer Pledge Campaign must be a total success.

So again I ask you to:

Please make a special Summer Pledge and help Priests for Life secure the funds needed to sustain our fight to protect our unborn brothers and sisters throughout the summer!

Your dollars will not only keep our fight on the Political Front going but they will also support all that Priests for Life is doing on the second front:

The Cultural Front

As important as Priests for Life’s work to win political and legal victories for our unborn brothers and sisters and their mothers, it’s not enough. In addition to securing these legal protections, it’s vital that we change the hearts and minds of our fellow Americans when it comes to killing babies in abortions.

After all, as we saw last November, lawmakers come and go. The fanatical pro-abortion Joe Biden was replaced by President Donald Trump, who has successfully implemented pro-life policies.

The radical pro-abortion Senate under Chuck Schumer was replaced by a pro-life Senate under John Thune.

And the pendulum will continue to swing for decades to come.

So what we need to do is CHANGE THE CULTURE in America. We’ve got to uproot the culture of death that allows abortion to kill hundreds of thousands of defenseless babies every year and replace it with a true culture of life that will protect the most vulnerable members of our human family.

Knowing this Priests for Life has a two-edged sword approach to changing the culture. Both are based on EDUCATION. The two edges of our sword are: The Church and Secular World.

  • Church: This effort includes Priests for Life’s work with the clergy of all denominations. We provide them with the support, encouragement and materials they need to preach against abortion from the pulpit. For Catholic parishes we provide inserts with strong pro-life messaging to include with their weekly bulletins. For Catholic priests and deacons we provide them with pro-life messaging that they incorporate into their homilies at Mass. For pastors and ministers of all denominations we provide pro-life lessons based on the Bible.
     
  • Secular World: Priests for Life produces eye-opening materials that show people the tremendous harm abortion wreaks on the country. These include:
  1. VIDEOS: We produce fact-filled programs for our own EndAbortion.TV and for social media platforms like Facebook and others. We currently reach close to a MILLION people a day.
  2. RADIO: Our programs and 1-minute spots air on stations all across the country. At any one moment we have the potential to reach THIRTY MILLION listeners.
  3. EMAILS and Action Alerts: These important messages and updates go out to hundreds of thousands of pro-life activists and leaders every day.
  4. The Priests for Life WEBSITE – ProLifeCentral.org: This is where pro-life organizations, leaders, and activists from all across America come for the information, materials and resources they need to win victory over abortion: Books. Documents. Pictures. Videos. Everything.
  5. LETTERS: I write to millions of Americans in their homes and give them updates on the war against abortion as well as ways in which they can make their voices heard in Washington, D.C. as well as in their states and local communities.

As you know only too well:

America will not survive as a free, prosperous and God-fearing nation as long as abortion remains legal and part of our culture. 

That’s why I’m writing to you with so much urgency and passion today.

It will take an estimated $1,200,000 to fund all of Priests for Life’s work this summer and we don’t have nearly that much money.

That’s why I’m counting on you to make a 3-Month Summer Pledge that will help us raise the dollars needed to carry out our work throughout June, July and August.

As you prayerfully consider how large a Pledge to make, keep in mind that it’s your sacrifices and your financial donations that will allow Priests for Life to sustain our vital projects throughout the financially dry summer and for as long as it takes for us to win victory over abortion.

Knowing the sacrifices you will make to fulfill your Pledge, I will continue to pray for you every day at Mass.

Thank you for taking care of this today.

May God bless you and watch over you this summer and for as long as we do battle against the powers of darkness and the enemies of life.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Pro-life Leader Frank Pavone, National Director

Priests for Life

 

P.S. I just want to remind you that Priests for Life, while thoroughly Catholic, is both juridically and financially independent from the bishops and the Vatican. This allows us to be as aggressive in the fight to end abortion as we must.

At the same time, our independence means that we are dependent on pro-life heroes like you to fund our work. Every penny we receive comes from hard-working, selfless, dedicated pro-life champions. Which means we can only do as much to protect the youngest members of our human family as your generosity allows us to do. So please make as large a Summer Pledge as you possibly can.

P.P.S. It’s been almost a month since the passing of Pope Francis. I have prayed for the peaceful repose of his soul, as has the entire Priests for Life staff, and you as well, I’m sure. I will be contacting the new Pope with my petition to be allowed to publicly exercise my priesthood (which, of course, never goes away). Please pray that God bless that request with success. Thank you.

NOTE: If you prefer to make your Summer Pledge donation by mail, please make your check out to Priests for Life and mail it to us at:  PO Box  236695, Cocoa, FL 32923.  If you have any questions, call us at our easy-to-remember number:  321-500-1000 … or toll-free at 888-735-3448.
