Dear Cherished Members,

Summer greetings to all! We are writing to you today as an interim measure, since we haven’t sent any emails nor provided our annual newsletter since last spring. The reason is that our Communications Director, Barry, stepped down last June after 10 years of dedicated service. Barry’s contribution to our organization was tremendous, and we miss him greatly. To date, we have not found his replacement. We need a communications person—please consider joining our team.

However, our work has not let up. In the fall of 2024, we executed a successful 40 Days for Life campaign as well as Life Chain. Presently, we are planning this year’s campaigns in our communities—stay tuned for more details.

We hosted Nigeria’s Obianuju Ekeocha, who riveted the audience at our breakfast gathering on Saturday, February 1st. Uju explained in clear terms how our federal government has been scandalously tying international aid (comprised of our tax dollars) to “reproductive healthcare” (aka contraception and abortion). Under Justin Trudeau, Canada has earned the reputation of perpetrating modern colonialism.

Since the start of the 2024/25 school year, we made many efforts to mobilize Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board students to be a presence of youth at the annual March for Life in Ottawa. With persistence, we were able to send an entire bus of students and chaplaincy team leaders on an overnight trip. They participated in the Candlelight Vigil, Pro-Life Mass, talks on Parliament Hill, and the Rally itself. We covered the cost of all of this thanks to generous donors such as yourself.

We produced a video, “Unpacking Choice,” created by a talented young woman, which we hope to show in our secondary schools, youth groups, and general audiences. She has also completed a similar educational video narrated by our friends and experts at Toronto Right to Life, titled “Unpacking MAID.” We plan to show it at parishes, community groups, and anywhere there is interest in this urgent topic.
