Special Invitation from Terri’s Family

Every year on the date of Terri’s death (March 31), we honor Terri with a special memorial mass. Last year, Father Frank Pavone, President of Priests for Life and Terri’s Foundation made it official by announcing the "International Day of Prayer and Remembrance for Terri Schindler Schiavo, and All of Our Vulnerable Brothers and Sisters," (Terri's Day).

In the past we celebrated Terri’s mass at a local parish in St. Petersburg, Florida. However this year we are delighted to announce that Ave Maria University will host "The National Mass for Terri's Day" at the Ave Maria Oratory at Ave Maria University, located near Naples, Florida.

Father Pavone will be the main celebrant and Father Thomas Euteneuer, President of Human Life International will also be there to help celebrate the mass.

Our family would like to cordially invite you to join us, not only to celebrate Terri’s life at this special mass, but also to spend time praying for all vulnerable bothers and sisters whose lives are threatened everyday in the same way that Terri’s was.

A reception will immediately follow Terri’s mass. Please contact Terri's Foundation at
info@terrisfight.org if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

The Schindler Family

Ava Maria Oratory (located at Ava Maria University)
5050 Ave Maria Boulevard
Ave Maria, FL 34142-9505
Mass will begin at 5:15 PM ET.
