In an attempt to weaken what John Paul II coined as the “Culture of Death”, Florida’s Ave Maria University has announced the establishment of the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Scholarship fund for aspiring priests and seminarians.
The Scholarship is the brainchild of Joseph Grady, President of My Jesus Mercy Ministries, and father of a current Ave Maria University student.
According to the University, “Grady and Ave Maria University leaders aim to carry on Terri’s name and assist future priests and laypersons in creating and developing a Catholic culture of life.”
University Provost, Fr. Joseph Fessio S.J. said that although “Terri’s death was a tragedy not only to her family, but for the entire country…it can also be a new beginning in renewing the conscience of Americans; and this type of pro-life scholarship will certainly contribute to that.”
