The following is a release inviting “Defenders of Life” to attend a pancake breakfast at 10 a.m. Sunday at Immaculate Heart of Mary on Rt. 235.
This Sunday, please come to Immaculate Heart of Mary’s Pancake Breakfast on Route 235, and listen to Barry Sullivan from Defend Life tell his uplifting life story of “Sewing Seeds in the Field of Life, and Harvesting a Lifetime of Joy.”
Sullivan, 47, as a young man joined Naval ROTC and graduated with a B.S. in Nuclear Engineering from Northwestern University in 1980. He then entered the Navy’s Nuclear Propulsion Program and served on the USS South Carolina (CGN 37), which is a nuclear powered guided missile cruiser out of Norfolk. He deployed to the Mediterranean Sea with the USS Eisenhower in January of 1982.
Barry Sullivan recounts the many events in his life where God took ordinary circumstances and turned them into extraordinary results. He will cover the many times that he has been involved in various charitable causes, pro-life activities including the March for Life, politics, and everyday situations with the various moral challenges they present. He will talk about the miracles of his two adopted children, the women who didn’t have abortions because they had heard him speak, friends who stopped living immoral life styles after he confronted them in a charitable way, and much more.
Finally, he was a candidate for Congress in 1990 in Southern Maryland.
He has been in the pro-life movement since 1973. He now lives in upper Montgomery County in Laytonsville, and is currently a Nuclear Engineer and Project Manager for the Department of Energy. He was also a member of the RCIA team at St. Francis in Derwood (Montgomery County), and is currently a member of the Parish Council/ pro-life committee. While there he worked with Father Mike Dolan, who is now the pastor at IHM. He has been married for 24 years to his wife Liz, and has two children, Kristen and Nathan.
Please come and hear Barry speak on his special God-filled experiences with the “Culture of Life.”
