Missionaries of the Gospel of Life

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Missionaries of the Gospel of Life is a lay Catholic association affiliated with Priests for Life.[1]

On December 12, 2005 Bishop John Yanta of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Amarillo, in Texas, United States approved a society of apostolic life that was founded by Fr. Frank Pavone dedicated to the protection of the unborn and most vulnerable in society.[2]

In 2008, it was agreed by Priests for Life and the Diocese of Amarillo that the Missionaries of the Gospel of Life would cease to be a society of apostolic life, but would continue as an association of the faithful.[3]
