About Us

Who Are We?
Family Life Religious Supplies is one of many fundraising efforts of Family Life International (NZ). Our apostolate aims to build a culture of life in New Zealand by educating on all the life issues from conception through to natural death, and by walking our talk by providing assistance to all women and girls facing a crisis pregnancy. We do all this while staying completely faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church. All the proceeds from our sales go directly to our life-saving pro-life/pro-family work.

Who Is the Team?
Brendan Kaufman is the manager of Family Life Religious Supplies, and he works under the directorship of Colleen Bayer (the Director of Family Life International).

Brendan's wife Michelle formats the catalogues and advertising materials, and now this web site. Brendan and Michelle have five children whom they homeschool, and one more precious gift waiting to be born. This is definitely a family apostolate, and all the children help to whatever degree they are able. The staff at the Family Life International (Auckland) office, all pitch in to help when required in the shop we have there. As this is not their main work, Brendan and Michelle are always grateful for the time they spend with customers.

We also have a very dedicated friend in Wellington, Clare McClean, who keeps a small amount of stock at her home. She is kept very busy by those who are in the know, and she works tirelessly spreading the pro-life message in Wellington.

It is Brendan and Michelle's prayer, and indeed the prayer of all at Family Life International, that many people will grow closer to Our Lord because of items that they purchase from us.
