}} Ruth Pakaluk was a Catholic convert, mother, housewife and pro-life activist who lived in Worcester, Massachusetts with her husband, Michael Pakaluk, and their children. Personal lifeRuth Van Kooy was born in 1957 and met Michael Pakaluk when both were Harvard undergraduates, which has caused some to compare them to the famous couple in the book and movie Love Story.[1] She died of cancer in September 1998 at age forty-one.[2] ActivismThe head of Massachusetts Citizens for Life (MCFL), Ruth had her own television show which focused on opposition to abortion and other socially conservative issues.[3] LegacyAfter her death, her husband compiled the letters she had written to family and friends throughout her adulthood and published them in a book called The Appalling Strangeness of the Mercy of God. In an introduction to the book, Boston College professor Peter Kreeft writes that "people in Worcester wished to consider opening her cause for sainthood" soon after she died. Her cause for canonization as a Catholic saint is now underway.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.firstthings.com/onthesquare/2011/07/remembering-ruth-pakaluk|title=remembering-ruth-pakaluk}} {{Canonization}}{{Subject bar |portal1= Biography |portal2= Catholicism |portal3= United States |portal4= Saints}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Pakaluk, Ruth}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://opusdeitoday.org/2010/04/ruth-pakaluk-a-zealous-apostle-in-massachusetts/|title=Ruth Pakaluk - a zealous apostle in Massachusetts|author=Opus Dei Today|accessdate=2011-07-28}} 3. ^{{cite web|last=Lawler|first=Philip|title=A Life of Dramatic Unity|url=http://www.catholicculture.org/news/features/index.cfm?recnum=20837|work=Catholic World Report|accessdate=8/1/2011}} 4. ^{{cite book|last=Pakaluk|first=Michael|title=The Appalling Strangeness of the Mercy of God|year=2011|publisher=Ignatius Press|location=San Francisco|isbn=978-1-58617-451-4|pages=272|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=m1YfPOq7ZowC&pg=PT91&lpg=PT91&dq=ruth+pakaluk+text&source=bl&ots=cHcjQNFnEd&sig=aLLLQm5Dp0Dti5ujP-Hg5vAjscM&hl=en&ei=4cUxTprAM8iugQfP2YGODQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBUQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false}} 11 : Year of birth missing|1998 deaths|People from Worcester, Massachusetts|American Roman Catholics|American anti-abortion activists|American television hosts|Deaths from cancer in Massachusetts|American Servants of God|Harvard University alumni|Converts to Roman Catholicism|Catholics from Massachusetts |
