"For the Glory of God and defense of Life, Faith and Family." - Fr. Paul Marx, HLI Founder HLI is the world's largest international pro-life, pro-family organization. Our Catholic teachers and trainers work with those of all faiths and cultures around the globe. We bring the Gospel of Life to places where the culture of death is only beginning to encroach on what are always, naturally, pro-life societies; or where it has already taken root. In many countries, HLI and its affiliates are the pro-life movement. 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. Our life saving mission continues today under the leadership of Reverend Shenan J. Boquet, who joined HLI in August 2011.
