Why is this so important?

and He said, “Mankind will not have peace until it turns with trust to my Mercy.”
WE are spreading the message of MERCY to the hopeless.

About Us
Our History
Family Life Billboards, formerly known as Billboards for Life, began in early 1994 as a non-profit, tax-exempt lay apostolate called Catholics for Children, Inc., formed by St. Martin of Tours parishioners in the Louisville, KY Archdiocese. John DeFriend, the founder of the group, approached Fr. Dennis Cousens in 1994, requesting a letter of introduction to other pastors in the Archdiocese, asking their support for a fund-raising campaign to post pro-life billboards around town. From this letter, Billboards for Life began and has served the Louisville, KY and Southern Indiana area for almost 30 years. John and his late wife Judy sacrificed countless hours each year speaking at as many parishes that would allow them to spread the pro-life message of hope, help, and charity for the voiceless. With Judy’s health issues, and subsequent passing in 2018, it was time to pass the ministry on to a younger generation.
Family Life Billboards is now a family-run, non-profit continuing to spread the messages for the voiceless and for ALL those who are HOPELESS through powerful and positive messages with Christ as the Center. Most importantly, the message of Divine Mercy is central to our messages to CHANGE THIS CULTURE.
