Welcome to Our Formation Talks

We are excited to introduce Formation Talks, a new initiative designed to address the needs of our communities and diocese. Each talk will focus on important Pro-Life topics, offering education, support, and inspiration.

Our goal is to empower and inform, fostering a deeper understanding and commitment to the Pro-Life cause through a Catholic Christian lens. Whether you are new to the movement or have been involved for years, these talks will provide valuable insights and encourage meaningful conversations.

Join us as we explore various aspects of Pro-Life advocacy and work together to protect and cherish every life.
