Is There More?
There’s much more that we do, including addressing local grade schools and high schools, speaking at events like Pro-Life Wisconsin’s March for Life, and National 40 Days For Life Leaders’ Symposiums.
While our team consists of volunteers, the cost of maintaining a website and promoting our work is not insignificant. When you Give to Verum Vitae 365, Inc., you help us focus on the work of transforming our community’s LIFE ethic.
