March for Life Mourns the Passing of Pro-Life Champions

 

The March for Life mourns the passing of two pro-life champions, who went home to God this past weekend, Dr. Jack Willke, and Brother Paul O’Donnell.

JackandBarbaraWillke32Dr. Jack Willke, along with his wife, Barbara, traveled the world speaking about a culture of life and educating about the harms of abortion. Together, they built the basis for the pro-life movement that exists today. We are grateful to the legacy that Dr. Willke leaves behind, and will always look to him for inspiration.

Brother Paul O’Donnell, superior of the Franciscan Brothers of Peace, was deeply committed to building a culture of Life in America from conception to natural death. Brother Paul was at the forefront of the fight to save the life of Terry Schindler Schiavo, a founding member of Pro-Life Action Ministries, and an advocate for every life.
