Two fifteen-year-olds, “Brittney” and “Brian,” walked out of the Columbus Planned Parenthood (PP) after coming from another state. Brittney’s mother had drove them to Ohio for an abortion.

We were able to get her boyfriend to leave their car and come down to talk to us. As he was explaining how he does not want the abortion at all, the facility door flew open, and the girlfriend ran down to us with an ultrasound photo! She yelled, “Twins! It’s twins! Here is one and there is another [pointing at the ultrasound]. Oh my God! I can’t!”

First, a man threw our fetal models into the street. Then a student told us, “Good luck evangelizing here! Most of us are trans and everyone is pro-choice!”

“She changed her mind!” proclaimed the father! The mother proudly held up a check reimbursing them for the abortion!

By the grace of God, we confirmed three other babies saved this month and two women who turned away from the abortion facility. Five mothers took information about healing ministries and the mercy of Christ from us as they were leaving.

“Lord, it is not to build up myself or a ministry. It is out of love for the babies who are dying.” The words of His response were a two-edged sword in Gabriel’s heart: “Then, why are you not where these children need you most urgently?”

This month, we had twelve people join us for our evangelization in downtown Columbus, Ohio, and we held our first outreaches out of Ohio during our first Catholics for Life trip to the March for Life!

“Commit your ways to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act.” Ps. 37:5

We are at the abortion facilities to advocate for every child, but we realize only some mothers will respond to our pleadings to help her and her baby. We pray for them all!

We had two dozen people join us for the first Ohio March for Life and our following events that day!

“I’m keeping my kid, so you don’t have to worry about me!” exclaimed a mother leaving the abortion facility!

We are seeing great fruit from our sidewalk counseling efforts and our monthly Torchbearers event trained ten young people in post-Roe apologetics!

This was the first month we started staying at Your Choice Healthcare from open until close on our Catholics for Life days.

Praise be the Sacred Heart of Jesus! After nearly fifty years of legal child-killing across our nation, Roe has fallen!

This spring included some shocking discoveries: the 115 aborted babies were retrieved at the Washington Surgi Center (five of them late-term) and the leak of Justice Alito’s draft majority opinion that would overturn Roe.

The final weeks of Lent and first weeks of Easter were both full of outreaches defending the sanctity of life and sharing the good news of our Resurrected Lord!

“Then Mary said, ‘My soul magnifies the LORD…’” -Luke 1:46 All that Mary does perfectly gives glory to God. By entrusting all that we are and all that we have to Jesus in Mary, we can be sure that she uses all we offer to glorify God in the greatest possible way- much outside our own ability.

Multiple Torchbearers traveled to our nation’s capital for the March for Life on January 21st. We went to the National Basilica of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception for the National Prayer Vigil for Life Mass with thousands. While there, we prayed for the enthronement of Our Lady of America’s statue as She requested and an end to Roe v. Wade with the Dobbs decision. The week after the march, I was...

I parked outside of Planned Parenthood at 7:45am one morning to find only one staff member in the parking lot. She was clapping to worship music, crying, and saying “thank you Lord” over and over. I approached her later when she was exiting her vehicle and said, “I heard you praying and singing. Why are you here?” She told me she has to make money, but I shared with here that there is a ministry (AbortionWorker.com) to help her get a new job ran by other people who have left the abortion industry. I made it clear that she does not have to keep being part of the death that happens there.

This has been a wild and blessed year for Catholics for Life. After starting our apostolate on January 1st, we have spent the last twelve months striving to love the least of these in the womb while working to share the Gospel of Life with hurting souls.
