In the spring of 2000, Brother Anthony Council #10014 (St. Albert, Alberta, Canada) undertook a pro-life calendar project and sought involvement from local junior high and high school students. It was a pilot project called "Help Save a Life," in which the most inspirational student submissions of art and poetry were selected and printed in a year 2001 calendar.

We believed that the voices of students, through their art and poetry, could "save life" and promote a positive attitude for life. It was our wish that those purchasing the calendar would place it in their kitchens or other prominent places and use it on a daily basis. In this way it was hoped that a pro-life attitude would be developed and nurtured.

International Recognition! The November 2000 issue of Columbia Magazine published a feature article on our pilot project, the Pro-life Calendar for 2001. [An HTML version of the article is available here.]

The 2001 calendar was deemed to be a success! Almost $10,000 was generated from the sales and turned over to support pro-life activities in Alberta and the North West Territories!
