Bishop Terry R. LaValley has approved grants to 23 organizations with funds from the 2015 diocesan Respect Life second collection.

Bishop LaValley approved the grant amounts as suggested by the grant committee members Stephen Tartaglia, Father Thomas Higman, Angelo and Suzanne Pietropaoli and John and Colleen Miner.

Those receiving grants are:  six Gabriel Project Crisis Pregnancy Apostolates, four buses to the DC March for Life, the Catholic Charities Teen Pregnancy Counseling Program, Brook Haven Maternity Home, Plattsburgh Pregnancy Center, Liferight of Watertown, Birthright, Lewis County Right to Life and Champlain Valley Right to Life Fair Booths, 40 Days for Life, Light of Truth Catholic Radio, Natural Family Planning Office for NFP Awareness week materials and video and the USCCB Respect Life month pastor packets.

Colleen Miner, diocesan respect life director, said, “while this year’s collection total was $70,481, lower than last year’s $82,738, many will benefit. Thank you to all who donated so generously to the collection and to all who work every day to build a culture of life in our diocese and in our world,”
