Cincinnati, OH (Oct 9, 2013) – The National Pro-Life Religious Council has announced that Brad Mattes, CEO of Life Issues Institute, will be the 2014 recipient of the National Pro-Life Recognition Award.
“Each year, this award is given to someone who has served the pro-life movement in an exemplary way,” said Father Frank Pavone, President of the National Pro-Life Religious Council. “Brad has devoted his life to making sure the truth about abortion is known throughout the country and across the globe.”
Brad Mattes is host and executive producer of the weekly pro-life television show, Facing Life Head-On. The program has earned three Regional Emmy® Awards. He is also the host of Life Issues, a daily radio commentary carried on over 1,100 outlets. In addition, Brad serves as president of the International Right to Life Federation and is a frequent speaker on abortion and related life issues.
“I greatly admire the National Pro-Life Religious Council because these are the people who walk their faith even when it’s hard to do so,” Mattes said. “The National Pro-Life Religious Council is a voice working to counter a moral and ethical vacuum in society. I’m honored to be the 2014 recipient of their National Pro-Life Recognition Award, and I’m blessed to serve alongside them.”
The award will be presented during the 20th annual National Memorial for the Preborn and Their Mothers and Fathers on January 22, the morning of the March for Life. Life Issues Institute is a sponsor of the event. It is considered a premier prayer event, bringing hundreds of interdenominational clergy and guests together to pray for an end to abortion.
