Albuquerque’s leading pro-life Priest Fr. Stephen Imbarrato, has received permission from New Mexico Archbishop Michael Sheehan to make pro-life ministry his full-time focus. Fr. Imbarrato will remain in Albuquerque, New Mexico but will join Priests for Life on June 12, 2015. Priests for Life is the nation’s largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia.
Fr. Imbarrato founded two leading pro-life organizations in New Mexico, Project Defending Life and Protest ABQ. In fact it was Fr. Imbarrato who invited Tara and I to do ministry work here in New Mexico five years ago when we were interns for Operation Rescue. Albuquerque in now known nationally as the Late-Term Abortion Capital of America.
We are really excited about how God is moving Fr. Imbarrato into a leading national role with Priests For Life and are looking forward to the great things God is accomplishing in New Mexico and all across the country…and I think Satan just got a little nervous!
Fr. Imbarrato issued the following statement, “For the last 10 years I have been blessed to be in parish ministry as well as pro-life ministry. I believe the time is right to answer Our Lord’s call of full time ministry dedicated to end pre-born child killing, What better means to do this than with Father Frank Pavone and the Priests for Life team? I am very blessed.”
