This special edition of Behold features the stories and testimonies of people who have dedicated their lives to life. We meet Deacon George and Susan Jurenas, whose four daughters’ adoption stories are filled with both joys and sorrows. We also learn about the street outreach work of Katie Somers with Toronto Right to Life, discover what has kept Jim Hughes motivated during his 50 years in the pro-life movement, and accompany Paula Celani as she spends time with her friends in the final stages of their lives.

Jim Hughes retired as national president of Campaign LifeCoalition, the political arm of the pro-life movement, in 2018, after 44 years of service. At 81 years old, however, he still devotes 60 hours a week to anti-abortion advocacy. He spoke to us about what motivated him and what keeps him going, and also gave us advice for anyone in pro-life work. Part of his interview was featured on the Lives Lived for Life episode. Here is the full interview.

Lives Lived for Life” honours individuals who have devoted their lives to advancing dignity for all. Through a special collaboration, The Catholic Register, Daily TV Mass, and Salt + Light Media come together to celebrate these champions and their unwavering commitment to the cause of life.
