Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide.

FRONT ROYAL, Virginia - Patricia Pitkus Bainbridge, Chairman of the Board of Human Life International (HLI), issued the following statement announcing HLI's new leadership team: Father Shenan Boquet as president, and Father Peter West as vice president for missions.
"After an extensive search in the US and abroad, and much prayerful discernment, the board of directors is pleased to announce that they have selected the team of Fr. Shenan Boquet and Fr. Peter West to carry on the legacy of HLI's founder, the late Fr. Paul Marx. Fr. Bouquet brings a great breadth of leadership and pastoral experience and passion for the defense of life and family to the position as president. Fr. West has a long and distinguished record of advocacy for life and family both in parish life and with Priests for Life, and was uniquely suited to head up HLI's missionary work as vice president for missions.
"Both Fr. Boquet and Fr. West come to HLI with the full support of their respective bishops, and we are grateful to both bishops for allowing them to serve HLI. We are confident that under the leadership of Fr. Boquet and the strategic guidance of Fr. West, HLI will continue to be the leading international pro-life organization.
"Further, HLI is truly blessed to have had Monsignor Ignacio Barreiro-Carambula at the helm during a year of transition. We are deeply grateful for all Monsignor was able to accomplish in his short time as interim president, and while he'll be missed at HLI headquarters, we are pleased that he will continue to serve HLI's mission as he resumes leadership of the Rome office."
Both Fr. Boquet and Fr. West will assume their new responsibilities on September 1, 2011. You can visit Human Life International on the world wide web at www.hli.org.
