Ladies and gentlemen,
Today I would like to elaborate on the subject that I indicated to you in the summary of our work in 2025, and compose a small more about the plans for this year. And believe me – we have plenty of them!
Working in the combined teams of the Life and household Centre and the Ordo Iuris Institute increases our possible for action, exerting force on decision-makers, shaping public opinion, and reaching out to subsequent audiences, frequently those who do not even meet regular life and household value messages.
Let me just compose at the outset: our opportunities inactive depend only on 1 origin – your support.
I will remind you of what I have written to you more than once: we are not financed by state entities, we do not receive grants, we are not supported by abroad organizations that want to influence social change in Poland.
We can only act by choosing to trust us and support our initiatives.
I would so like to present to you a fewer key areas that we would like to make in the beginning of the year with even greater determination. any of them require constant vigilance and presence – due to the fact that the force to accelerate ideological changes in our country does not weaken. Poland is becoming an arena of aggressive social experiments, which are intended to weaken our identity, household and Christian foundations. Others offer a chance to scope further social groups and make in directions that will enable us to strengthen and grow local communities of life and household defenders.
That is why present we request your commitment more than ever.
We want not only to respond to attacks, but to actively form public space, so that the voice of reason, fact and good is heard in all house, school and local government. Each support – financial, prayer or organizational – is simply a real part of the fight for the future of our children and our Homeland.
Your commitment to the mission of the Centre of Life and household is especially valuable to us in the beginning of the year. Our actions will be more effective, the more precise we can plan them. Looking ahead, present we request to know what we can afford, and watching the reality around us, I know that the needs are truly huge.
Therefore, present I would like to invitation you to a joint mission – to defend what is most precious: the dignity of life, the rights of the household and its social status, to take action to defend young people, especially against ideology and demolition of education. All these areas require our urgent commitment, which will not be possible without your help!
The right to life, the protection of matrimony and household are foundations without which no community can develop. so The main field of our action must be to defend the life and dignity of unborn children, the identity of matrimony and household rights.
First of all, we want to make the thought of Marches for Life and household and support – inactive growing! – march movement in Poland.
Marches are not events of 1 day.
It's a process of building local communities, consolidating people of good will.who in their cities and towns want to publically witness the value of life from conception to natural death and the importance of matrimony and household based on permanent foundations. all March is an crucial minute erstwhile the local community boldly says yes to life and family.
For years we have supported the organization of marches throughout Poland. We supply formation and promotional materials, banners, gadgets, aid organizationally and in substance those who undertake this liable task.
For many environments, our aid is simply a condition for the march at all.
This request for support besides arises this year. A increasing number of local leaders study willingness to act, but at the same time ask us directly: how much aid they can number on.
They cannot wait long to respond to our consequence – due to the fact that the preparations for marches start well in advance. In 2 weeks we meet in Warsaw with organizers of the Marches for Life and household from all corner of our country!
But I will repeat: the degree of this commitment depends on your support – the momentum and so the impact of many local marches depends on your help.
The scale of needs can be easy seen on this example: the preparation and printing of posters and banners cost us over PLN 17,000 last year. The production of gadgets for the youngest, windmills and balloons amounted to an additional PLN 7,000. And the cost of preparing materials for the National March of Life in Warsaw amounted to another PLN 10,000!
Please aid me! Only by working together can we influence how many places in Poland this year a clear, public voice will sound in defence of life, matrimony and family.
| I support the March organization for Life and Family! |
However, we do not limit our presence in public space to the Marches for Life and Family. There is frequently a request for a strong consequence and a surviving presence of voice in defence of life in the streets of cities.
As you know, in this field we do not deficiency experience – we have organised many manifestations, information campaigns and prayer events, which have gathered people willing to stand up for their lives and give clear evidence to their values.
Unfortunately, present we know that this evidence will be highly needed in the coming months. The data published in fresh days revealed the scale of the tragedy launched by the illegal “guidelines” on abortion introduced by the Donald Tusk government.
In 2024, more than twice as many abortions were carried out in Polish hospitals than a year earlier, and most were based on alleged wellness reasons – of course, concerning intellectual health.
It's a drama that breaks the hearts of all those who know how precious life is!
At the same time, the first “abortion clinic” in Poland opens close the Sejm, and activists of organizations promoting the killing of unborn children are increasingly bold with their bloody narrative.
Therefore, the barbarity of the “law of specified as we realize it” cannot pass by!
Also this year we want to go out with anti-abortion actions on the streets. Where public debate is taking place, where decisions are made and where propaganda hitting the weakest is most visible, there must besides be a voice of opposition present. A calm, dignified but unambiguous voice in defence of the life of unborn children.
I don't think I gotta convince you that it is street events that have a peculiar impact. They attract attention from the media, provoke reflection, break silence and show that life defenders are not a margin, but a living, committed part of society. For many people, it is the first minute of contact with pro-life arguments – frequently a breakthrough moment.
We want to organise these activities responsibly, professionally and on the widest possible scale. However, all manifestation, all prayer event is simply a circumstantial cost: logistics, security, materials, sound system. That's why we gotta plan today, in how many cities and with what strength we can operate.
And we realize that we will most likely besides gotta respond quickly, to act hotly. Keep resisting the aspirations of politicians or abortion lobby on the lives of unborn children.
All the more valuable to us is your support already today, which will let us to act erstwhile we request it.
I'm asking for them!
However, in order to communicate the dignity and values of all life effectively and permanently rooted in the awareness of Poles, it is essential to intensive social formation – reaching the consciences, changing the way you think and rebuilding the sensitivity to the value of human life from the beginning.
We want to follow the words of Pope Leon, late spoken during a fresh Year's speech to diplomats, in which the strong condemnation of abortion and insemination procedures has been pronounced in vitro.
In the light of this deep imagination of life as a gift to be given to concern, and the household as its liable guardian, we categorically reject all practices that contradict or exploit the beginning of life and its development.Among them is abortion, which interrupts the increasing life and rejects the acceptance of the gift of life – said the Pope. – By transforming pregnancy into a negotiated service, the dignity of both a kid who is reduced to a ‘product’ and a mother, utilizing her body and the process of childbirth, and distorting the first establishment of the household into a relationship.
We request to convince Poles that human life is simply a gift, and wicked procedures, in which unborn children are treated with objectivism, cannot take place in a society based on the foundation of universal values.
That's why we're planning this year. definitely strengthen our presence on social media. This is 1 of the key fields of influence today, especially for young people, who unfortunately are frequently peculiarly susceptible to pro-abortional propaganda. We want to scope regularly with a clear, reliable and courageous pro-life message: to explain, educate, respond to manipulations and half-truths that dominate the media space.
At the same time, we are preparing to release guide on infertility and in vitro. This publication is primarily intended to be a concrete aid for parents struggling with infertility, who do not know what to do, where to go – to dissuade any from immoral procedures, and to show others places where they will find ethical help. Further, this text is intended to explain the risks of the method in an accessible but substantive way. in vitrowhich leads to the instrumental treatment of the kid afraid and undermines its fundamental dignity. Finally, we want to equip parents, teachers and social leaders with concrete arguments, medical, ethical and legal cognition needed to have a liable discussion on this subject.
Such formation is simply a long-term investment. It's a basic occupation without which even the top social action will not bring lasting fruit. all material, all publication, all movie or article is another individual who can change their position on human life.
Thanks to your commitment, we will be able to get with this fact where present is dominated by misinformation and ideology. I ask for your support in the fight against lying about the beginnings of human life!
| I support pro-life! |
The completion of our actions in the defence of life is indicating the real, beautiful way of having a kid who needs a home, love and security, or initiative Counselor for the small oneThat I wrote about before Christmas.
As part of this program, conducted jointly with the Ordo Iuris Institute, we want encourage the adoption of all those who could take it – marriages and families ready to open their hearts to children, especially those who, due to age or wellness situation, find a loving home harder to find. At the same time, we want accompany those who have already taken that decision: support them with information, aid them realize adoption procedures and walk this way with the feeling that they are not left to themselves.
In the close future, 1 of the most crucial elements of our work in this area will be preparation of a movie promoting adoption.
We want to show the actual stories of adoption families – their fears, joys, difficulties, but above all the meaning and value of the decision they made. It is this evidence of circumstantial people that has the top power to overcome fear, stereotypes, and false beliefs.
We believe that specified a movie can become a real impulse for subsequent families that are inactive hesitant today, and next day they can give the kid what he needs most – home and love.
Please aid me with this project!
In a letter summarizing the erstwhile year of our work, I mentioned to you that The youth formation is simply a very crucial area that we want to make in the coming months. It is young people present who are exposed to the strongest ideological pressure, exposed to moral relativism and ridicule of values which for us – and for them – are the foundation of a worthy life.
Last year we were present at festivals and youth events, including MaxFestival in Niepokalanów, as well as at the festival in Dębowec. We have seen the large importance of our presence where attitudes and consciences develop.
We distributed our formation materials and publications there, conducted talks, and witnessed. Young people frequently came to us with gratitude for strengthening them in the values they hold in their hearts, but sometimes so hard to defend in their environments.
Many of them experience ostracism, peer pressure, and even exclusion due to their attachment to the defence of unborn children or to Catholic faith. Therefore, the conversation, the support received from adults who are not afraid to stand clear on the side of the truth, is frequently of large importance to them, giving them the strength to deal with the unfavorable environment.
We want not only to proceed this presence, but to importantly strengthen it.
We plan to arrive at another specified eventsto share our experience by giving lectures on character formation, responsibility, courage in the confession of truth, household and homeland. We want to strengthen young people in their worldview, give them arguments and, what is equally important, give them the feeling that they are not alone.
But not only will we go to the young – we invitation them besides to us. We want to proceed the course "Survival character" in which respective twelve advanced school students and students attended the Warsaw Stańczyk Club last autumn. Together with the Ordo Iuris Institute, the Association of Fr Piotr Skarga and the said Stańczyk Club, we are preparing the start of a fresh program for the formation of students, ready to devote themselves to social work in the future.
That is why I am asking you very much to support these measures for young people. It is thanks to our Donors that we can fight for the future generation and form the strong, conscious and faithful values of young people!
However, it is not only our actions for young Poles.
We take peculiar care of students, parents and teachers, cooperating in the Polish School Coalition with many organisations, experts and practices in the field of education. The Polish school ceases to be a place of reliable education and becomes a field of ideological experiments and chaotic reforms imposed by the current government.
Instead of stableness and education based on actual values, students and teachers receive a mess, pressure, and content that causes demolition of yet-building characters. Ignoring the rights of parents to rise according to their own beliefs, to negate patriotic education, religion and cognition of the basis of our culture – present is the reality of the Polish education system.
In the Center of Life and household we have been resisting this for years. Today, however, we see clearly: This opposition must be even stronger, better organised and wider! Without decisive action, the school under the regulation of Minister Nowacka will be completely subordinated to ideology, not to the student's welfare.
Activating parents, supporting teachers, organizing protests, exerting force on politicians – it was all our regular life in the past year. Many times I saw a determined love for the youngest: Love that, in the face of danger, wants to defend children first and fight for their actual good.
And looking at the activities of the Ministry of Education, I know that this year besides we will gotta respond to the next installments of the "deform" of education.
At the same time, we are developing our programme Family Friendly School, where we support almost 800 institutions throughout Poland in promoting pro-family and pro-life values. These are hundreds of directors and teachers who, despite pressure, want to rise a young generation in a spirit of respect for life, household and responsibility. all period we send them materials (in the last school year it was a full of more than 40 classes scenarios!), while offering permanent substantive support and assistance in implementing activities for marriage, household and dignity of life.
This program is simply a form of our constant commitment to building a safe and value-based school. A school where students are not the only ones who feel comfortable, whose characters are not subjected to continuous attacks of destructive ideologies. A school where teachers besides come calmly, knowing that their consciences will not be broken. And a school where parents trust in giving their children, knowing that they will be actively supported in raising children in a spirit of value.
Our goal for this year is reaching further facilities: I am convinced that our materials are a concrete and valuable aid for students and teachers.
We besides have a fresh gathering offer for schools prepared (and sent in days) – from talking about subduing your own smartphone, through a discussion with a pro-life lawyer, ending in screenings of valuable films.
We must show that there is an alternative, that we can and must defend normality in education!
But, knowing what school budgets look like, we know that no 1 will ask us if we request any money for our arrival. This must so be a free offer and it will so depend on your financial assistance, how many schools we can reach.
I'm asking for it!
| I want to aid defend schools from ideology! |
As you may recall, the bulk of our efforts to defend education have focused in fresh months on travel – to these meetings with young people, but besides to your local backgrounds, to meet with afraid parents, grandparents, educators and all who feared increasing chaos in the Polish school.
Many of them, during these meetings, hear for the first time that these fears are justified and that there are circumstantial tools to defend children from demoralisation and Polish school from destructive changes.
Thousands of kilometers travelled all over Poland, dozens of visited towns, thousands of conversations, heard disturbing but frequently and giving hope of history, lectures on crucial and perplexing parents and teachers topics – this was our regular life last year. This is precisely the kind of journey and gathering we've made all week.
The scale of interest to date and the number of incoming calls for further places show that these actions besides request to be stepped up in the beginning of the year.
And although this is simply a immense organizational and financial effort – a group of our experts are active in this activity – we know that we cannot let go! Nothing can replace a direct encounter, face-to-face conversation, and the anticipation of a peaceful explanation of the dangers facing school and young generation today.
Therefore, we want to proceed to talk loudly about the threats of civilization and ideologicalOur children are facing, o hazardous content entering schools, the consequences of the chaotic reforms and above all, how to respond effectively – according to the law and in the care of children.
This will only be possible with your aid – please.
I have no uncertainty that this year we are besides facing many challenges related to the actions of the government, which are increasingly open-minded against life, household and matrimony and undermine the safety of children and young people.
We cannot afford to be passive erstwhile attempts are made to change the legal and axiological order in Poland.
That's why we'll be monitor policy makers on an ongoing basis and draft laws and legislative initiatives. Our peculiar interest will, of course, be in all projects related to the legalisation of abortion, the introduction of partnerships or another solutions affecting the family, the rights of parents and the protection of the youngest.
And if necessary, we will put real force on politicians, reminding them that as representatives of their constituents they are liable for the direction in which the state is heading.
We must respond rapidly and decisively – prepare petitions, give an opinion on the proposed legislative changes and, where necessary, organise force actions and mobilize public opinion.
This kind of action requires us to stay vigilant, expert facilities and ready to respond quickly.
The scope of your support depends on whether we will be able to effectively look at the power on our hands and defend fundamental values at a time erstwhile they are most threatened.
All described actions – defence of youth, education, life, household and marriage, presence in public space, formation work, consequence to political decisions – require real and crucial financial expenditure.
We're not short of commitment, we're well-trained.
However, without the support of our Donors – without your support – we are incapable to act effectively.
As an organization, we can initiate, coordinate and implement concrete projects, but their scale, scope and courage depend straight on what support we will receive.
It is your commitment to decide whether we will be present in a twelve or in respective twelve cities, whether we will scope thousands or hundreds of thousands of people, whether our actions will be only symbolic, whether they will actually affect social and legal reality in Poland.
We want to plan our actions for the full coming year now. This will let us to act responsibly, strategically and with courage – taking initiatives that require long-term preparation, reservation of deadlines, production of materials and engagement of people. For that to happen, we request to know, what scale of projects we can afford.
I will repeat: without your commitment we will do nothing – with your support we can do very much. It all depends on the decisions that will be made now – and on the willingness of our Sympathians to take work for the future of Poland with us.
We have opportunities, experience and large determination to act.
We have proven tools, concrete ideas, expert facilities and people who have worked for life, family, upbringing and common good for years. We work with many organisations with a akin profile, combining forces where the future of our country is at stake. We know how to act – and we know that what we do makes sense.
At the same time, we are full aware that This fight is not easy and will not be short-lived. There is simply a civilised dispute about the most fundamental values: respect for human life, identity and rights of matrimony and family, conscience of children and youth.
This conflict is not weakening – it is gaining strength, changing forms and increasingly entering everyday life.
But I assure you, we are not giving up.
Our decisions – made present – depend on what planet we will see not only in a year, but in 5 or 10 years. What a planet our children will inherit. Whether it will be a reality based on lasting foundations of values, or a space of chaos, relativism and rejection of what is most important.
I know that what happens around here is frequently very disturbing. All you gotta do is scope out for everyday information from the country and the world, so that uncertainty and question arise: does this fight inactive make sense?
We answer, yes, it makes sense..
Because all life saved, all strengthened family, all kid protected from demoralization, all individual who regains the courage to stand on the side of the fact is simply a real change.
Thank you for your trust, your presence and your willingness to take work for the future together.
I look forward to your aid and warmly greet
Marcin Perłowski
Director of the Centre for Life and Family
