Over a Thousand Rally Captains hold Pro-Police Rallies More than 1,000 rally captains held public rosary rallies across the country to offer powerful, public prayer in support of law enforcement personnel. Although these brave men and women tirelessly protect our communities each and every day, they often rarely get the attention they deserve. So, our rally captains took to their towns to pray to Saint Michael the Archangel, the patron saint of police officers, to ask for his protection for these officers. Several rally captains said they were honored to host a rally as part of this campaign in their town. Patty from Lafayette, Louisiana, said, “We were at an extremely busy intersection and with the help of Our Lord Jesus Christ and our Holy Mother Mary, we were able to spread the Holy Spirit to a great many people. It was wonderful to share in the most amazing experience and serve Our Lord Jesus Christ, Holy Mother and Father God Almighty.”

TUCSON, AZ Nancy from Columbus, Ohio, said, “I feel it was a gracefilled hour with Mary. We also had no interference from the evil one, as we have had a couple of times in the past. God bless ANF and your continued prayer ministry bringing attention to the atrocities against Jesus’ Sacred Heart and that of the Immaculate Heart of Mother Mary.”

Victory! Florida Rosary Rallies Help Lead Voters to Protect the Unborn Rally Captain Sergio and his group of dedicated TFPANF friends and supporters were among many people who held rosary rallies protesting a blasphemous proposal that sought to completely legalize abortion in Florida. Sergio and his friends gathered at Miami’s Florida International University (FIU) to hold a rosary rally against Florida’s proposed Amendment 4. The proposal sought to allow abortions in Florida up to 24 weeks – the point of fetal viability. Under current law, abortions are banned after six weeks of pregnancy in Florida.

However, thanks to many prayer warriors publicly calling attention to this blasphemous amendment, Florida voters rejected the proposal at the ballot box and the bill failed. Sergio said, “We felt very blessed after holding our rally at FIU and will continue to pray the rosary for the courageous young Catholic warriors at the university. We thank Our Lady for destroying the satanic agenda of the Tuesday elections. We also held our monthly rally at Tropical Park and had over 30 attendees and heard many honks of support, even from those in a funeral procession passing by.”

Forgotten Truths

“Keep to the ancient way and custom of the Church, established and confirmed by so many saints under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. And live a new life. Pray, and get others to pray, that God does not abandon His Church, but reform it as He pleases, and as He sees best for us, and more to His honor and glory”.

– St. Angela Merici

408 Public Square Rosary Rallies Protest Blasphemous Movie As theaters across the country released another anti-Catholic and anti-Christmas movie, Terrifier 3, 408 rally captains from all over America stepped up to defend the faith. TFP-ANF friends and supporters held Public Square Rosary Rallies to protest the blasphemous movie and encourage Americans to pray the rosary. Read here for a report from Philip: Rally Captain Philip and his group held their rally along a busy boulevard at the cross streets of two famous malls in Santa Clara, California. Many people attended the rally, including 10 new participants, and they handed out nearly 100 flyers with slogans from the banners. Philip said there were many positive repercussions from the rally. “A lady facing difficult life troubles stayed with us to the end and was moved emotionally. She felt this moment would help get her life back on the true path. A man who didn’t know about the movie said he believed entirely in what we were doing and enthusiastically praised our work. Many people who stopped in cars

and received our flyers were impressed to know about the Terrifier 3 movie and disturbed at the destruction of children and families that it would cause,” he said. We are reminded of the words of Pope Callixtus III, “… Continue to defend the Catholic Faith; God, for whom you fight, will not abandon His cause. He will, I am confident, grant success against [Satan] and the other unbelievers to you and the rest of the Christians with great glory and honor.” May God reward these faithful rally captains and all the prayer warriors who say “NO” to Satan in America!

Supporting Our Police in Connecticut

Our prayer warriors were out in full force across the country holding rosary rallies to support our police and pray for their safety and protection. Rally Captain Michael and his group held their rally in front of the Bridgeport (Connecticut) Police Department. He reported that a large group of officers, including a captain, two lieutenants and three sergeants, came out to greet the group and show appreciation for their prayers and support. Michael said, “As usual, the Bridgeport Police Department was very enthusiastic and engaging, as they are every year, but I think this year was the most

From the desk of Robert E. Ritchie

Every day, I reflect on the many blessings we receive from God. One of the most important blessings is our family and loved ones. This always makes me think about how traditional marriage – the union between a man and a woman – mirrors the love between Christ and the Church, Sadly, the sacredness of traditional marriage as God intended is under attack every day by the anti-family LGBTQ+ agenda that flagrantly promotes homosexual “marriages” to destroy the true meaning of this sacrament. For example, during the recent Christmas season, instead of being able to celebrate a Holy Family – Our Lady, Saint Joseph and the baby Jesus, we were forced to encounter blasphemous Drag Christmas events that promoted the immoral homosexual agenda.

engaging. They are truly a very professional group of officers, who really believe in their mission to serve and protect the public. They related this to us through the stories and real-life examples of their daily life that they shared with us.” He added, “One lieutenant told me that he was so moved by our show of support and said this meant so much to his officers. He said this was such a morale booster for his officers, who are often times demoralized by the seeming lack of support from the public for the difficult job they have. I was taken aback by his genuine and profuse appreciation. Our Lady took our action and truly made it even greater.” But, I have great hope that poor souls will overcome this temptation and return to a life devoted to God. And I have the certainty that others who may hesitate to oppose this lifestyle will be strengthened when they see your public witness of defending traditional marriage. I am so grateful for the dedication of our dear friends and supporters! I know you join me and Catholics across the country who are filled with compassion and pray for those who fall into homosexual sin out of human weakness. Through God’s grace, we can preserve the sanctity and beauty of traditional marriage and create a world where our children and grandchildren see the union of a man and woman at the center of our families as God intended it to be. Through the power of collective prayer, you can protest the desecration of this sacrament. May God bless you for praying to remind others what marriage truly means. Sincerely, In Jesus and Mary, Robert E. Ritchie Executive Director
