Welcome to the Pro-Life homepage for the Catholic Diocese of Grand Island!
In John's Gospel, Jesus said, "I have come that you might have life, and have it more abundantly. (John 10:10) Life is a most precious God-given gift!
Saint Pope John Paul II, in his encyclical, Evangelium Vitae, wrote "The Gospel of Life is at the heart of Jesus' message. "Lovingly received day after day by the Church, it [the gospel life] is to be preached with dauntless fidelity as 'good news' to the people of every age and culture."
The mission of the Pro-Life ministry is to build the culture of life in our families, our parishes and our schools through prayer, education, pastoral care and advocacy.
Together let us become missionaries of the Gospel of Life!
Most Rev. Joseph G. Hanefeldt
