Msgr. James Lisante to Speak at Prayer Breakfast at National Right to Life Convention

Jun 22, 2012

By Jacki Ragan, Convention Director

Editor’s note. The 42nd annual National Right to Life Convention is next week June 28-30. There is still time to register and to reserve a room. Please go to www.nrlconvention.org.

Msgr. Jim Lisante

This year, as in every presidential year, we will be in the greater Washington, D.C., area. The Hyatt Regency Crystal City hotel has been home to the last three conventions held in this area and will once again be where the right to life movement gathers for the pro-life educational event of the year.

Being at the convention with fellow members of this great social justice movement is one of the most important things you can do during this first half of 2012. 

During those three days there are 4 General Sessions, 72 plus workshops, a Prayer Breakfast, a Banquet, the 27th annual National Teens for Life Convention, pro-life exhibits, childcare, and one of the most important things, the ability to meet and talk with like-minded folks. These are folks who encounter the same issues in their area as you do in yours. Folks you can bounce ideas off of. Folks you can ask for help. These are people who believe as you believe.

This year the convention is very fortunate to have back one of our favorites as the Friday morning Prayer Breakfast speaker: Reverend Monsignor James Lisante, the pastor of Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Massapequa Park, New York.

Monsignor Lisante has spoken to many conventions and is welcomed back with open arms at every opportunity. He is a naturally talented spokesperson and pro-life from his heart.

A little background about Monsignor Lisante. He has authored four books, including: Of Life and Love, Let’s Talk, Personally Speaking, and The Power of One. He previously served as a director of the Office of Family Ministry for the Diocese of Rockville Centre.

He has hosted several national television programs, including Personally Speaking and Christopher Close-Up. He is currently in the process of launching a new television show, Close Encounter, which will appear nationally on PBS in the near future.

The title of Monsignor Lisante’s speech is “Life, Liberty, and Other Things You Can’t Mandate Away.” Always one of the featured events at every convention, the Prayer Breakfast is an event you won’t want to miss. Making this Friday morning gathering even more enjoyable is that Jaime Thietten will entertain us with her amazing voice. Mrs. Thietten has just released a new CD, “Love Along The Way.”

I look forward to seeing you at the convention. There is still time. Please  visit www.nrlconvention.com today.

See you at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City hotel!
