Priests for Life to Name the Babies Killed in Gosnell Clinic in Memorial Service

On Wednesday, we will have a memorial service, which we will make available online, in which we will acknowledge the human dignity and personhood of these children, and bestow names upon them. God has entrusted the lives of all of us to one another. (Fr Frank Pavone)

"As we await the verdict in the trial of Kermit Gosnell, Priests for Life, which has requested from the Medical Examiner the bodies of the babies retrieved from Gosnell's clinic so that a funeral and burial can be arranged, will take the step this week of giving names to those babies."

"On Wednesday, we will have a memorial service, which we will make available online, in which we will acknowledge the human dignity and personhood of these children, and bestow names upon them. God has entrusted the lives of all of us to one another."
