New Pro Life Chairman for Galveston-Houston Chapter

By John Costello, Pro Life Chairman, Galveston Houston

Vol. 2, 2024 - 2025

My journey and Mission into Pro Life Pro began in 2004 when I drove from my Home In San Diego to Los Angeles for the first annual March for Life, My Father PGK John Costello Sr was the Pro Life Chairman for his Los Angeles KOFC Council 3148 as well as the Co-founder. It was a very successful walk for life for awareness and raising Funds for a Local women's pregnancy center in Los Angeles, from 2004-2015 they continued this walk and it grew in attendance, awareness, and larger funds were raised for the pregnancy center. They also had nationally known Pro Life speakers from all over the United States that came to give testimony on Pro Life issues all over the U.S. and round the world. Since then it as blown up and is now www.onelifela.org

here is a website to my fathers KOFC council 3148 in Lamarchforlife.org http://www.lamarchforlife.org/about.php

Since moving here to Houston from San Diego in 2007 I have grown my Pro Life mission every year including earning my KOFC Ace Wings in 2016. I meet quarterly with Julie Fritsch who is the Galveston Houston Arch Diocese Pro Life Activities Director and meet with her at quarterly respect life coordinators meetings to network and plan Pro Life events all year long.

I also work Closely with many Catholic Churches, Pastors, Pro Life directors of the Churches, Houston Coalition for Life, Foundation for Life, Helpers Of Gods Precious infants, as well as many other contacts and women pregnancy centers and family centers. For the last Three Years I have attended The Texas Rally for Life in Austin to meet with legislators, and State of Texas representatives.

I will continue for the rest of my life to grow the awareness of this important Pro Life Mission. With the help of all knights of Columbus Galveston Houston Chapter members and there families as well as all of our Catholic Community and all people we can serve we will accomplish big things and raise great awareness for Culture of Life and do our best to support children, there mothers and families.
