We are so excited to share the BIG NEWS!  Our 2015 Summer  Soiree and Fundraiser speakers have been confirmed and you won't want to miss hearing their testimonies!

Keynote Speaker:
  
Dr. Haywood Robinson
Family Medicine Doctor and Pro-life Advocate

 
Dr. Haywood Robinson is a Family Medicine doctor and pro-life advocate from College Station, Texas. 
  
During his residency in Los Angeles, Dr. Robinson received abortion training while on the obstetrics and gynecology service.  At the time, he did not give the matter serious thought and had no moral opposition to abortion.  During this time he met his future wife, Noreen.  Moonlighting at abortion clinics together was commonplace and money became a mutual motivator as the pay was substantial.

After completing their residency programs, the Robinsons were married and moved to Texas.  Five years later, the Lord spoke to their hearts and they were transformed.  By God's grace, Dr. Haywood is now part of the pro-life ministry, sharing his testimony nationwide to expose the truth about the abortion industry and to be a voice for the unborn.  
 

Guest Speaker:
 
Mr. Art Bennett
President and CEO of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Arlington
 


 
Mr. Bennett is the President and CEO of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Arlington (CCDA),
