In another urgent fundraising letter dated February 2012, Priests for Life is seeking $608,000 “in the next two weeks in to pay bills that are now over 90 days old.”

Fr. Frank Pavone, the embattled national director of Priests for Life, states that the “financial problem we’re facing is the combination of two things, really; neither of which we had any control over.”

In this missive, Pavone drops from his letterhead the role of national director of the Gospel of Life Ministries.

The two outside factors that have put Priests for Life in this critical situation are the economy and donors reneging on paying their pledges, he writes.
