Rev. Frank Pavone is one of the most prominent pro-life leaders in the world. Originally from New York, he was ordained in 1988 by Cardinal John O’Connor. In 1993 he became national director of Priests for Life, the largest Catholic pro-life organization in the word, and has served on the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for the Family and Pontifical Academy for Life. He also serves as the president of the National Pro-life Religious Council and as the national pastoral director of Rachel's Vineyard, the world’s largest ministry of healing after abortion. As a tireless pro-life advocate and co-laborer with Christians of all stripes, Pavone has received the “Proudly Pro-life Award” by the National Right to Life Committee, and numerous other pro-life awards and honorary doctorates. Influential in the conversion of Norma McCorvey, the “Jane Roe” of the Supreme Court’s Roe vs. Wade abortion decision, he was present at the bedside of Terri Schiavo as she was dying and was an outspoken advocate for her life.
