What is Our Mission?

HLI's mission is to train, organize and equip pro-life leaders around the world to promote and defend the sanctity of human life and the dignity of the family. We fulfill this mission through prayer, service and education, in accordance with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. While we are completely faithful to the Holy Father and the Magisterium,
we are also ecumenical and work with people of all faiths to advance the cause of life.

HLI believes the specific concerns and needs of local communities can be best identified by those who live there. Thus, our world headquarters, located in Front Royal, Virginia, is an educational apostolate devoted to empowering our international leaders and the people they serve.

Since our founding in 1981 by Reverend Paul Marx, O.S.B., HLI has sponsored more than 70 international conferences and over 50 conferences in the United States. By means of our pro-life missionary trips, we've also advised, inspired and trained pro-life leaders, families, seminarians and students in approximately 160 foreign lands. The methods we employ in each country depend upon the varying needs of the people and regions we are working in:

• In El Salvador, HLI's affiliate persuaded lawmakers to amend the constitution so as to secure and protect
  "the life of the unborn from conception."
• In Tanzania, HLI's teen chastity outreach programs brought to national attention the United Nation's designs to force young people to use defective condoms; HLI's detective work resulted in the destruction of over 10 million condoms.
• HLI's office in Ireland prevented murder on the high
  seas by stopping the Dutch abortion ship Aurora from circumventing Ireland's pro-life laws.

We've also helped many of our satellite offices:

• Found crisis pregnancy centers
• Teach young couples NFP
• Inform parents about the dangers of sex education
• Train seminarians to be pro-life priests
• Equip counselors to advise families in crisis
• Educate civic leaders on pro-life issues
• Host pro-life and pro-family radio and
  television programs
• And much more!

Due to HLI's dedication, more than 5,000 babies have been rescued in Chile and over 3,500 in Austria. In Mexico alone, over 40,000 babies have been saved. Worldwide, tens of thousands of families are benefiting from Human Life International's global approach to life and family issues.

The babies are the reason why. Everything HLI does is dedicated to saving lives and strengthening families throughout the world. Because we are the only pro-life presence in many countries—and because the culture of death is active on so many fronts—HLI's global approach to the life issues is indispensable.
