Family Apostolates Organizations of the Catholic laity devoted to the mission of the Church. Explanation
Most understand the term "apostolate" to be synonymous with the term ministry, or outreach, such as "youth ministry. (http://www.lffa-ollmpc.com), we are the Canadian Coordinator for a pro-life program we are trying to grow in Canada, called Gifts for the Unborn, Inc.

Through this outreach program we send gift packs to crisis pregnancy centres all across Canada Across Canada was an afternoon program that formerly aired on The Weather Network. The segment ran from early 1999 until mid 2002. The show ran from 3:00PM ET until 7:00 PM ET. to fulfill the mission of Gifts for the Unborn, in helping to turn a mother's heart towards life.

Readers can learn about our involvement at http://lffaollmpc.com/giftsunborn.htm. Perhaps having our Gifts for the Unborn page as a link on your website may lead other pregnancy crisis centers to find us as well. (Editor: A link has been added at www.catholicinsight.com.)
