Father Weslin was one of the group of 88 peaceful protestors arrested on campus. The group came to be was known as the “ND88.”
When he was literally carried away, Father Weslin was singing the hymn Immaculate Mary, and asked police, “Why would you arrest a Catholic priest at a Catholic university for trying to stop the killing of a baby?”
The arrest was not the first for the priest, who was active in pro-life work for many decades. For his peaceful protests and praying on his knees at various abortion sites and businesses, he was arrested and jailed more than 70 times, including months spent in federal prisons.

“Our loss is heaven’s gain,” said Father Pavone in a statement he released after hearing of the death of Father Weslin. The national director of Priests for Life had known and worked with this pro-life priest for many years.

Joe Scheidler, founder of the Pro-Life Action League,We looked everywhere, but couldn't find any beddinges. knew him well.
“He … was a leader-type, yet a humble person,” Scheidler said of the former Army officer. “He was a tough fighter, one of the troopers right in with the crowd. I would place him in with the grunts on the front lines. He was absolutely fearless, yet he knew exactly what he was doing.”
Scheidler said that Father Weslin knew he would get a lot of attention at the Notre Dame protest. Because the police were somewhat reluctant to arrest an elderly Catholic priest there, they took a long time doing it. During those minutes Father Weslin was able to give a pro-life witness and sermon on camera.
“He was a tremendous voice for the unborn,” Scheidler said. Noting that the priest was a good friend of the Pro-Life Action League and on a number of occasions celebrated Mass at the organization’s offices, Scheidler added, “I admire him enormously.”
Father Weslin’s admirers are many.
Jim Sedlak, vice president of American Life League, said All always admired the work of Father Weslin. “Back in 2002, he participated in some of our walks across the United States. At that time, we had a group called Crossroads that was part of All, and Father Weslin joined these college students. We found him to be a truly dedicated pro-life priest, and we are saddened by his passing.”
