PRIESTS FOR LIFE
WHAT IS PRIESTS FOR LIFE?
Priests for Life is an association of Catholic priests who give
special emphasis to promoting and defending the sanctity of
human life. A Priest for Life is not asked to leave his diocese,
religious order, or specific ministry.
BUT ISN'T EVERY PRIEST "FOR LIFE"?
Yes; in fact, every person is called to stand for life. "Priests for
Life" means that being "for life" is ESSENTIAL to the life of
EVERY priest. (Just like, while every priest is for Jesus, there is
also a Society of Jesus.)
SO WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF PRIESTS FOR LIFE?
Priests for Life brings together and encourages priests to fight
the culture of death, particularly abortion and euthanasia.
WHAT SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES DOES PFL HAVE?
1. Priests for Life seeks to link up priests across the country who
are actively involved in the pro-life movement;
2. to help <all> priests speak and act against abortion and
euthanasia;
3. to distribute the Priests for Life newsletter, a practical aid for
preaching and activity;
4. to provide priests with homilies, bulletin inserts, tapes and
other pro-life resources;
5. to provide lay pro-life groups an effective link with the clergy.
6. In some areas, Priests for Life gather in small groups on a
regular basis to pray and share ideas on pro-life issues.
