Comments from our Delegate Evaluations
- I feel more strongly than ever about pro-life from conception to natural death.
- I'm excited and energized - not the way I started the weekend.
- I now have more pro-life beliefs than I had before.
- I received my call from God to care for and suffer with the dying.
- I've always helped the unborn, but I've been transformed to help all aspects of life from the moment of conception to death.
- I will see people in a different way and want to affect change in a different way as well.
- I now feel a real calling to give my life and career to the Gospel of life.
- The truth of the four levels of happiness has transformed my thinking.
- I have come away with more confidence to discuss my beliefs and get more personally involved.
- I feel as though I'm better equipped to have "water cooler" discussions. I'm more likely to "say" something, rather than just shy away.
- I've gained a deeper commitment to not just advocate for laws, but to educate for real happiness.
- This made me even more convicted about pro-life.
- I'm new to the pro-life movement and excited to see how God will use what I learned.
- I learned so much; everyone in the whole pro-life community should get these trainings!
- This encouraged me to speak up.
- I purchased material that will help me start a respect for life ministry at my parish.
- I learned the basics that will equip me to spread the message to our ecclesial community.
- I learned how to discuss life issues with others outside of a theological perspective.
- I gained knowledge and was exposed to resources that will aid in discussions with the opposition!
- This brought back worth, dignity, and meaning to my own life.
- I have never been so inspired to pray, act, and love in response to the challenges of our culture. This was the antidote to my discouragement.
- The talks moved my heart and had a true impact on my life.
- This is a program that every pro-lifer must know by heart if she/he wants to defend life.
