August 29, 2023Amarillo—Due to the continued response for seats, the deadline for the 26th annual Respect Life Banquet has been extended to Tuesday, Sept. 5 at 5:00pm, according to James Schulte, director of the Family Life Office for the Diocese of Amarillo.
The banquet, to benefit the diocesan Family Life Office, is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 10 in the Heritage Room of the Amarillo Civic Center, 401 South Buchanan.

Patricia Sandoval has traveled around the world since 2007 sharing her story of her three abortions, her work behind the hidden doors of Planned Parenthood, which was followed by three years as a homeless drug addict. Her story is a testament to the saving love and mercy of Jesus Christ and His desire to bring this world’s hidden dangers into the light for healing. Sandoval currently hosts a weekly television program Pro-Life Report (Informe Próvida) on EWTN Español and is the author of the book Transfigured, which has been translated into several languages. She most recently appeared in the documentary The Matter of Life.
“The Family Life ministry encompasses a number of programs for the diocese, including Pro-Life activities, Natural Family Planning, Engaged Encounter, Marriage Encounter and Emmaus Ministry for Grieving Parents English and Spanish-speaking retreats,” said Schulte. “We must continue to promote a pro-life, pro-marriage and pro-family message in our area, which has been so blessed by our Savior, Jesus Christ, and your support of our annual banquet assists us in these efforts.”
