BUFFALO, N.Y. (CNS) -- Father Frank A. Pavone, director of Priests for Life, was honored for his dedication to the pro-life cause by the Association for the Arch of Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and International Shrine of the Holy Innocents. Headed by New York attorney Laurence Behr, the Catholic lay association in Buffalo wants to erect a 700-foot-tall ascendable arch, along with a shrine dedicated to victims of abortion around the world. At a recent banquet, Behr presented Father Pavone with an award in recognition of his "selfless, courageous and persevering advocacy on behalf of the weakest and most vulnerable members of society -- the unborn, the sick and the elderly."
