Originally from New York, he was ordained a Roman Catholic priest in 1988 by Cardinal John O’Connor, and has dedicated his entire life and ministry to ending abortion. In 1993 he requested and received permission to serve as the National Director of Priests for Life, which, under his leadership, has become the largest Catholic organization focused on ending abortion. He is also the President of the National Pro-life Religious Council, and the National Pastoral Director of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign and of Rachel’s Vineyard, the world’s largest ministry of healing after abortion.

Fred Pry became a second-career CEF missionary 20 years ago after twenty-five years in the business world. Fred’s journey with CEF began in directing a local chapter in Pennsylvania, which led to an appointment as state director of Virginia, followed by joining the staff at CEF International Headquarters as Director of Literature. Later, he was invited to lead USA Ministries, and since 2024 he has been serving as Vice President of Administration and providing further leadership to the organization as one of CEF’s executive staff. Fred trusted Christ as Savior at age nine. His call to missions came while a teenager and was reaffirmed years later to both him and his wife Dawn during a mission conference. As they sought the Lord for direction and His timing, they continued serving in their church and raised four children. Through their children’s involvement with the CEF program, Christian Youth in Action, Fred and Dawn recognized the profound impact of CEF in the lives of children, teens and adults. As a result, they accepted the invitation to join CEF ministry in 2003.
