Jenn Giroux, Executive Director of HLI America
Before joining HLI as the Executive Director of HLI America, Jenn Giroux was the Founder and President of Women Influencing the Nation (WIN), an organization dedicated to reclaiming traditional morality in American society. WIN places a special emphasis on regaining respect for women as mothers and the desire of many women to have more children. Jenn has been a Registered Nurse for 24 years. She has witnessed the devastating physical, mental, and spiritual consequences women have experienced from the lies of the feminist movement, particularly from the effects of contraception and abortion. Through personal witness, her pro-life activities, and various political efforts, Jenn has defended Church teaching on the sacred transmission of life and the inviolable dignity of life in the womb. In 2007, as Assistant to the President at Citizens for Community Values she developed an outreach program to help Catholic Parents shield their children from internet pornography. She worked closely with Former Attorney General of Kansas, Phill Kline, to bring the only criminal case ever brought against Planned Parenthood. Jenn is a frequent guest on Catholic Radio and has been seen debating these and many other issues on MSNBC, CNN, FOX, AND COMCAST NEWS NETWORKS. Jenn regards God’s gift of motherhood as her most important and fulfilling work. She and her husband, Dan, live in Cincinnati, Ohio and have been blessed with 9 children.
Brian J. Gail
Brian J. Gail, Author Fatherless
Brian J. Gail was a schoolboy baseball phenom recruited by Division One universities and scouted by Major League baseball teams; he suffered a disabling shoulder injury early in his college career and was sent to the Philadelphia Phillies team doctor whose efforts to help him regain his exceptional pitching velocity were unsuccessful.
Fueled by a white hot competitive fire and magnetic rhetorical gifts he rocketed to the top of the Madison Avenue advertising world in his mid 30’s only to see his career derailed by a great moral business dilemma and a direct challenge to his Catholic faith.
A gifted entrepreneur and CEO, he provided strategic marketing counsel to elite Fortune 500 corporations and directed a variety of non-profit boards focused on assisting the underprivileged in Philadelphia.
Today, Brian J. Gail is a critically acclaimed author, a Knight of the Immaculate, a co-founder of three catholic classical academies, a patent holder, and a highly sought after speaker on matters of faith and family.
Brian’s remarkable novel “Fatherless” is published by Human Life International and already is in its 4th printing. “Fatherless” has become a powerful tool for catechesis. The interest and demand for this unique novel has now spread across America and abroad. It is on the cusp of the Catholic Best Seller status.
Critics are calling it “the Catholic novel of our generation”, “an instant classic” (Philadelphia Bulletin), “masterful” (author Roy Schoeman), “phenomenal” (professor Dr. Janet Smith), “the spark that will light a societal powder keg” (evangelist Christopher West), “remarkable” (Bishop Thomas Olmsted), “riveting” (Defend Life Monthly) and “quite simply, powerful” (editor, Richard J. Neuhaus +2009).
Brian married his high school sweetheart, Joan Mary Kain, 40 years ago and they were blessed with seven children including two sets of identical twins and one set of “Irish twins.” They just welcomed their 5th grandchild into the world. Brian has touched many lives with his optimism, humor, and unwavering Faith in Our Lady and the truths of the Catholic Church. He and his lovely wife, Joan, divide their time between homes in Villanova, Pennsylvania and Jupiter Island, Florida.
