Father Thomas Euteneuer to speak at Pro-Life Wisconsin’s Annual Auction Dinner this Saturday, October 18


Brookfield, Wis. – Father Thomas Euteneuer, president of Human Life International, will be the keynote speaker at Pro-Life Wisconsin’s Annual Auction Dinner. The event will be held at the Silver Spring Country Club in Menomonee Falls at 5 p.m. this Saturday, October 18. Advanced reservations are required.

Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer became president of Human Life International in 2000. Human Life International is the world’s largest pro-life organization with affiliate offices and associates in eighty countries around the world. In seven years of service to this unique mission Fr. Euteneuer has traveled more than 900,000 miles as a pro-life missionary and visited fifty-five countries.

Fr. Euteneuer was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1962, the fourth of seven children born to Joseph and Marian Euteneuer. He has a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy from the University of Notre Dame in Indiana as well as a Licentiate degree in Biblical Theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, Italy. He is fluent in Spanish.

His pro-life activity began in the early years of his priesthood with prayer vigils, pilgrimages, pickets at abortion mills, sidewalk counseling and the establishment of a crisis pregnancy center across the street from an abortion mill in 1999.

Founded sixteen years ago as a voice for pro-life activists concerned that children conceived in rape and incest, and embryos threatened by in vitro fertilization and abortifacient birth control had no public voice, Pro-Life Wisconsin has grown to a statewide network of local affiliates representing over 30,000 families.

At the Capitol and in local communities across the state, Pro-Life Wisconsin is the premier advocacy group for the total protection of all of God’s created persons, from the moment of fertilization until the moment of natural death, without exception and without compromise.
