Major Project Launching Next Month. Stay Tuned…
Dear Pro-Life Friend,
Our ministry in New Mexico is unique and Holy Spirit led. We don’t do what is popular, comfortable or expected…we do what is necessary. In a meeting this month with an evangelical Pastor, Fr. Stephen Imbarrato mentioned that we (us and him) are the odd-couple of the pro-life movement because of our deep love and commitment to each other as Catholic and Evangelical partners, in fact, Fr. Imbarrato has described our relationship akin to a marriage… and we grow closer and stronger with each battle that Christ leads us through.
Currently we are in a season of holding Catholic pro-abortion politicians accountable through protest, postcards and public awareness and it has been vital that Fr. Imbarrato has been leading this charge alongside us with Protest ABQ.
We’ve pondered this month about how different our ministry would look if we lived someplace else…But this is our mission field! God has us here for His purpose and He has blessed us with a great spiritual leader, mentor, and friend in Fr. Stephen Imbarrato: The Protest Priest!
The month of October has flown by for us, we have held numerous protests and stood in solidarity with many groups to oppose evil and corruption across NM. One of the groups we joined this month was “New Mexicans for Parental Equality” for the “Stop Child Abuse, Start Listening Rally.” When it comes to protecting children, Protest ABQ is proud to stand in solidarity with other local protesters!
Also this month we sponsored several “Vote Pro-Life” protests across New Mexico. While we have never placed trust exclusively in politicians to solve all of our problems, we feel that it is critical to preserve this nation and our state for future generations by voting pro-life, pro-family and pro-religious liberty. Our country faces a crucial election as does our state and it’s vital that NEW MEXICO VOTE PRO-LIFE!
Thank you for continuing to stand with us in this fiercely spiritual battle and may the light of Christ prevail!
Prayerful, Purposeful and Productive Protests
NEW MEXICO: VOTE PRO-LIFE!
For the 2nd year in a row, this Pastor invited us to join his church in peaceful protest at a busy intersection in Edgewood, NM.

Will You Help Social Reformers?
An article published this month by The Stream quoted our good friend Mark Harrington of Created Equal and really resonated with us this month.
We often feel like Paul on his missionary journey when he recalled all of his attacks. Our methods in unison with our boldness in the face of pure evil makes us prone to attacks as well. Our financial support takes unexpected dips, we are ostracized by other pro-lifers, we are the black sheep in churches and we often feel that we don’t fit in-anywhere.
Mark Harrington explains so clearly why our methods are effective though but not without controversy when he stated (in part), “The pictures of abortion are offensive because the act of abortion is offensive. Our message is targeted to those Americans who still have a functioning conscience. Social reformers are always hated because they confront the status quo. When half of the American people support abortion- killing it is naive to think that any opposition to abortion will go unopposed…”
We need your help to keep moving forward here in NM. We need your prayers most of all as this battle is against unrelenting evil. We need your encouragement and your partnership as we do what must be done peacefully and prayerfully in the public square.
If you are unable to join us physically please help us financially and know that your contribution/tithe blesses our efforts and our family.
