Patrick McCrystal is the Executive Director at Human Life International, a pro-life, pro-faith, mission-driven organization based in Ireland. It is the largest global pro-life apostolate with an active network in 100 countries, defending life and family around the world. A pharmacist by profession, Patrick left his job following his refusal in dispensing a contraceptive pill and other abortion-inducing drugs. Patrick says that after multiple failed attempts at finding a job as a Catholic pharmacist, God led him to Human Life International, an organization with a vision statement that God is first, life is scared and family is cherished.
