Fr. Thomas J. Euteneuer (EYE-ten-our) is president of Human Life International, the world’s largest pro-life organization with affiliate offices and associates in seventy-five countries around the world. In his over 7 years of service to this unique mission, Father has traveled more than 900,000 miles as a pro-life missionary, and visited more than fifty countries.

Father Euteneuer holds a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy from the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, and a Licentiate degree in Biblical Theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, Italy. He speaks Spanish fluently.

While in college, Fr. Euteneuer participated in the Marine Corps Officer Candidate Program and attended boot camp at Quantico, VA, graduating at the top of his Company. After discerning that the Lord was calling him to the priesthood rather than the military, he entered the seminary. After his ordination in 1988, Father served as a parish priest in five parishes of the Diocese of Palm Beach, FL—as the Bishop’s secretary, vocations director, and spiritual moderator to the Respect Life Office.

Father Euteneuer’s pro-life activity began in the early years of his priesthood with prayer vigils, pilgrimages, pickets at abortion mills, sidewalk counseling and the establishment of a crisis pregnancy center across the street from an abortion mill in 1999.

Since taking office at HLI, Father Euteneuer has spoken to thousands of people all over the world, spreading the Gospel of Life, as well as making many appearances on EWTN and other local, national and international media. He has been featured in Human Events and National Catholic Register, and recently has been awarded the John Cardinal O’Connor Award for Life from Legatus.

Fr. Robert J. Levis, Ph.D., a priest of the Diocese of Erie, PA since 1948, received his Ph. D. in Religious Education from the Catholic University of America. He served at Gannon University in Erie, PA as Professor and Chair of the Department of Theology, Chair of the Liberal Studies Curriculum, Founder and Chair of the Pontifical Center for Catechetical Studies where, for 19 years, he supervised and instructed candidates for the Master’s Degree in Catechetics.

He is a co-founder and vice president of the Confraternity of Catholic Clergy—a national association of priests, seminarians, and deacons. In addition to editing its newsletter, Sapientia, for many years, he sponsored their annual convention at Gannon University for almost 20 years.

When the Catechism of the Catholic Church appeared in 1994, he pioneered the preparation of two widely accepted catechetical programs for use on the computer, one for grade school students, and the other for high school students in fidelity to this official catechism. In 1997, he wrote a popular catechism, Jesus, the Catechism, and Me, a condensed and faithful text in support of the official catechism. He co-edited John Paul II, Catechist, edited the History of Gannon University, has written regularly for the Canadian Challenge, National Catholic Register, Lake Shore Visitor, Catholic Encyclopedia, and many other publications. He has spoken often on theological topics across the States and in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Presently, he co-hosts the EWTN show Web of Faith.

The internationally acclaimed author of 14 books, which include bestsellers such as G.K. Chesterton: Wisdom and Innocence (Ignatius, 1997), Literary Converts (Ignatius, 2000), Tolkien: Man and Myth (Ignatius, 2001), Solzhenitsyn: A Soul in Exile (Baker Books, 2001), and Old Thunder: A Life of Hilaire Belloc (Ignatius, 2002), Mr. Joseph Pearce is a world-recognized biographer of modern Christian literary figures. Pearce’s books have been published and translated into over eight languages.

Mr. Pearce converted to the Catholic faith in 1989 as a result of “becoming friends” with several 20th-century literary figures he researched who had been Christians and, ultimately, converts to Catholicism—particularly G.K. Chesterton. As a younger man, Pearce was “extremely anti-Catholic” and even had opposed Pope John Paul II’s visits to England. His earlier viewpoint gradually shifted as he learned more about the writings and beliefs of the literary converts he would eventually profile.

As Writer in Residence and professor of literature at Ave Maria University in Naples, Florida, since September 2001, Mr. Pearce also serves as Editor of the Saint Austin Review, a trans-Atlantic monthly cultural review. A native of Great Britain, he relocated to the United States in 2001 to serve at Ave Maria University. He is also contributing writer to a number of newspapers and magazines in the United Kingdom, U.S. and Canada.

An accomplished tutor, teacher and speaker, Mr. Pearce has participated and lectured at a wide variety of international and literary events at major colleges and universities in the U.S., Britain, Europe and Canada. He is also a regular guest on national and international television and radio programs, and has served as consultant for film documentaries on J.R.R. Tolkien and Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
