• Bills now over 90 days old total $673,379.18
• Those over 60 days are another $175,215.76 

That’s $848,594.94 in overdue bills that must be paid … now!  

But the only way that can happen is if you click here and rush Priests for Life the largest financial gift you can send … today! 

It is critically important that you do this before you go on to your next email. 

I’m counting on your help because our financial crisis here at Priests for Life threatens to derail your pro-life mission.  That’s because thanks to you and loyal partners like you …

                        … Priests for Life is the voice of America’s pro-life movement!

Which means  Priests for Life is YOUR voice when it comes to speaking out for the unborn and warning our fellow Americans about the evil of abortion. 

Well never was our voice – yours and mine – needed more than it is right now.

The reason for that is due to the fact that this November 2 – Election Day 2010 – we, as a people, will choose either LIFE or death.  For the youngest members of our human family.  For our nation.  For ourselves.  And for our descendants.  

This is why it is so important for you to click here and  rush  Priests for Life the largest gift you can send at this critical time! 

We absolutely must convince our fellow Americans to CHOOSE LIFE on November 2. 

In saying that I can  hear you asking how could we allow a situation like this to happen.  And you have every right to ask that question.  Well, the answer is simpler than you might think. Unlike a for-profit corporation, Priests for Life doesn’t have regular contracts and receivables. 

Not only that, but in spite of the fact that I serve on the Vatican’s Pontifical Academy for Life and that so many bishops wholeheartedly endorse our Priests for Life ministry, we are not funded at all by any official Church entity ... neither from Rome nor here in the United States. 

Every penny we receive comes from hard-working, dedicated pro-life champions just like you.

Even at that, however, we have no way of knowing how often and how much you will be able to fund our work.  All we can do is make estimates based on your prior gift giving. 

And for going on two years now the economy has wreaked havoc with our projections.  Many loyal donors have told us that their own financial hardships have forced them to stop supporting us.  In fact, gifts from long-time Priests for Life supporters dropped by almost $800,000 over the first six months of this year … which is almost exactly what our debt is: $848,594.94.

As you can see, had donations from these long-time supporters kept pace with their prior giving history, everything would be fine.

But it didn’t.  So now we’re scrambling to keep our head above water and our projects moving forward. 

Which is why I’ve sent you this most urgent  email and why I’m counting on you to click here and send Priests for Life a contribution for whatever amount you can. 

For the sake of the babies, our work must go on!  YOUR work must go on! 

Yes, the economy is bad.

Yes, donations are down.

But the slaughter of babies continues every hour of every day without let up.

As you know, everyone here at Priests for Life is working non-stop to end abortion. All our projects are geared to that goal: Voter education projects, priest-to-priest projects, parish seminars, TV and radio programs, pro-life Freedom Rides, post-abortion ministries, a slew of publications, as well as our website. All of them are focused on saving babies in the womb.  This work must continue.

One reason why is this: 

Thanks to your support of  Priests for Life, your pro-life mission is bearing much fruit! 

After years of intense labor and much sacrifice, America is more decidedly pro-life than ever!  All the independent polls and surveys show that a majority of Americans now consider themselves to be pro-life!  A recent Human Events article had this headline:

“America’s Pro-Life Movement Gaining Steam”
 

You helped bring about that transformation by partnering with Priests for Life. 

And that shift in attitudes marks the beginning of the end of legalized abortion in America.  Now we have to keep that pro-life momentum going.

Which is why  I sent you this important email. 

I have always trusted in God to provide for us and I know He works through human instruments like you. You have responded generously to God and become one of Priests for Life’s most loyal and most generous benefactors.  Well, I need your help at this difficult time.  More importantly … 

… the babies need your help! 

It’s going to take close to $3,000,000 for Priests for Life to pay off our back debt and put into action all that we have planned to convince our fellow Americans to CHOOSE LIFE on November 2.

You know our work.  And now you know our need.

Please ask God how He wants you to help. 

I will be travelling a great deal over the next few weeks.  I am praying that when I return to Priests for Life headquarters I will find that you have responded to this urgent email with your typical generosity.

In the meantime, I will continue to pray for you and ask God’s blessing on you and your family.  You are a true defender of life.  And you have given so much of yourself for your unborn brothers and sisters.  From the bottom of my heart I thank you for all the support you have done and continue to do for them … as well as for me and Priests for Life.

Sincerely yours in Christ,



Fr. Frank Pavone
National Director, Priests for Life and Gospel of Life Ministries
