- At 8:39 p.m. EST May 16, Father Norman Weslin left this life. He was 81 years old. Father Weslin was best known as the founder of Lambs of Christ. Lambs of Christ was a group of highly dedicated, sacrificial pro-life activists who would pray and get arrested at facilities where babies are murdered, and then spend weeks...sometimes months...in jail.
