EWTN: His father died while saving the life of his brother who has Down Syndrome

With the death of Robert Schindler, Sr., father of Terri Schiavo, the issue of human life – and whose life is worth living -- is once again in the national spotlight. For a Catholic perspective on life, don’t miss Fr. Tom Vander Woude – whose father died while saving the life of his Down Syndrome brother -- at 8 p.m. ET, Thursday, Sept. 10 on EWTN’s “Life on the Rock.”

Also, learn about the lives and cause for canonization of Rose Hawthorne, who founded the Servants for Relief for Incurable Cancer, and Fr. Michael McGivney, who founded the Knights of Columbus, at 8 p.m. ET, Wednesday, Sept. 9 on “EWTN Live” with Fr. Mitch Pacwa.
