Raymond de Souza, Regional Coordinator for Portuguese-Speaking Nations

We are pleased to announce that the veteran Catholic evangelist and pro-lifer, Raymond de Souza, has teamed up with Human Life International to better serve the needs of Portuguese-speaking people of the world.

Raymond was born in Brazil and now makes his home in the U.S. with his wife, Thesesa, and their eight children.  As a Catholic evangelist, Raymond has spearheaded significant outreaches not only in Brazil but also in South Africa, New Zealand, Fiji, and Australia.  He heads St. Gabriel Communications and appears regularly on EWTN.

In February 2007, Raymond traveled to Portugal with an HLI team to fight a national abortion referendum. There, he spoke in parishes, appeared on television and radio programs, and held public debates with abortionists.  In February 2008, he represented Fr. Thomas Euteneuer, addressing the first international conference in defense of human life held in Aparecida, Brazil.  As an HLI regional coordinator, Raymond will focus his attention on bringing the Gospel of Life to Portuguese-speaking countries, and has also made missionary trips to Brazil, Mozambique, East Timor and Cape Verde.
