Missionaries of the Gospel of Life
- Missionaries of the Gospel of Life

The Missionaries of the Gospel of Life is a lay Catholic association affiliated with Priests for Life.[1]
On December 12, 2005 Bishop John Yanta of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Amarillo, in Texas, United States approved a religious order that was founded by Fr. Frank Pavone dedicated to the protection of the unborn and most vulnerable in society.[2]
In 2008, it was agreed by Priests for Life and the Diocese of Amarillo that the Missionaries of the Gospel of Life would not continue as a society of apostolic life, but continue as an association of the faithful.[3]
At times, the profession of some of the over 1000 people currently in formation are received by their local bishop, as was done in the Diocese of Knoxville, TN. [4]
