ose Ferraz, Rally Captain and long-time member of America Needs Fatima, held a Rosary Rally in Portland, Maine, in early January. He and 20 others publically protested in response to the town’s “Drag Queen Story Hour” event. So few realize the lasting impressions of unnatural behavior and pro-transgender activism on the youngest of children! But you and I do, and we must not be silent! We must defend these little ones against those who would pervert the minds of children as young as three years old. The immoral, harmful and confusing event: Attacks the innocence of children Turns the tax-dollar funded library into a place of corruption Constitutes a new form of child abuse Offends God Who created male and female In fact, one activist “performer” involved in the “Drag Queen Story Hour” in Lafayette, Louisiana openly confessed: “this is going to be the grooming of the next generation.” “A couple of participants traveled from 80 miles away!” Jose said. “It’s wonderful that people are coming to the defense of our children!” Standing in the January cold, holding

signs reading “Honk to Defend the Innocence of our Children” and “Drags Need Prayers, not Public Platforms,” these brave Rosary warriors of Our Lady peacefully but powerfully protested the brazen, pro-transgender activism that is gaining momentum throughout the country. “The transgender/homosexual agenda wants to change society by corrupting a generation, but we can’t let them,” said Jose. “The only way to help us stop this abomination from coming to our local libraries and bookstores is to publicly protest.” If you see a “Drag Queen Story Hour” happening near you, please, dear reader, let America Needs Fatima know so that we can organize a rally in protest and in reparation to God. With the help of Our Lady, She will send a host of angels to help us defend and preserve the innocence of our children! Our special telephone number to report an event happening in your area is (844) 830-3570. Or if it’s easier for you, email deusvult.cf@gmail.com. Please let us hear from you!


O Dear Soldier of Our Lady,

I

n March, we celebrate the feast day of St. Joseph, Foster Father of Our Lord, Chaste Spouse of Our Lady, Patron of the Universal Church, Terror of Demons, and Pillar of Families. Commenting on St. Joseph’s intercession, St. Teresa of Avila said: “I wish I could persuade everyone to be devoted to the glorious St. Joseph, for I have great experience of the blessings which he can obtain from God.” She stated, “I do not remember that I have ever asked anything of him which he has failed to grant. I am astonished at the great favors which God has bestowed on me through this blessed saint, and at the perils from which he has delivered me, both in body and in soul.” With this in mind, we invoke St. Joseph’s powerful aid in our spiritual war for holy families and traditional marriage. Under his protection, Our Lady’s captains are gearing up for the Rosary Rallies for Traditional Marriage on Saturday, March 23, 2019, at noon local time. It’s our great honor to defend the one true definition of marriage by praying rosaries in the public square! If you need help preparing your rally, please call 866-584-6012. I pray that St. Joseph, Terror of Demons and Pillar of Families, give a blessed rally and a very holy month of March to all of us!

n January 19, 2019, just ahead of the call for a state of emergency due to wintery conditions, 20 people stood outside the Public Library in Montclair, New Jersey. These faithful Catholics endured the bitter cold to protest the blasphemous “Drag Queen Story Hour,” an event held at publicly funded libraries in 21 states, aiming to foist the homosexual agenda onto children. Karen Bertutti of Ridgefield, New Jersey, brought her two young children to the protest. “We don’t want to leave our children behind with this immoral culture,” she said. “We are a part of this world, so we have to fight for it!” Most of the feedback was positive, but the pastor from the neighboring First Congressional Church, which features a huge rainbow flag near the entryway, approached the group, determined to change minds. “She tried to convince us to be accepting, like her ‘LGBT church’,” Karen said, “but left when she realized her argument wasn’t going anywhere.” Faithful readers, let us applaud these brave Catholics who endured violent, wintry weather to publically protest the destruction of innocence and defend their beloved faith! If we can gather a group of peaceful protestors in an effort to overturn the transgender and homosexual “Drag Queen Story Hour,” with the help of Our Lady, we will prevail!


More than a March:

S

ince 1974, the March for Life movement has grown tremendously. During its 46 years, the March has spread from the East to the West Coast, sparking a call to action across the U.S. According to the official March for Life website, there were 82 marches in 2019, from Arizona to Wisconsin, and California to New York. All the marches were unified under the theme “life starts at conception.” This year, Washington, DC, the largest and oldest march, was enthusiastically attended by hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people of all ages. The March for Life in Chicago had a special participant: the miraculous International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima. Rally Captains of America Needs Fatima and supporters of Tradition, Family and Property participated at marches in Miami, Florida; Los Angeles and San Francisco, California; Houston, Dallas, and Austin, Texas; Baton Rouge, Alexandria, Lake Charles, and Lafayette, Louisiana;

Biloxi, Mississippi; Augusta, Maine, and many other cities, including St. Augustine, Florida, where Rally Captain Ruby Galatolo of Ocala, and her family participated. “To kill a human being created in the image and likeness of God is an attack on His creation,” Ruby said. “As a society, we’re forced to pick a side, either for God or for Satan, and abortion is at the forefront of that battle.” Our Lady blesses Catholics like Ruby who fearlessly undertake active roles by participating in the March for Life, and attending other public acts of reparation against blasphemy, same-sex “marriage,” transgenderism and now, escalating Satanism. You, too, can gain graces and blessings by publically defending traditions and truths we hold dear! Please visit us online at ANF.org to read more on how to become a Rally Captain.


A Rally Captain’s Recount:

Protest Against “Rainbow Jesuit” BY MICHAEL MILLER

n Tuesday, January 29, 2019, my family and I prayed to the Angels before we headed out to participate in the Rosary Rally at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut, where the blasphemous Fr. James Martin was giving a talk about accepting homosexuality within Catholic communities. It was a cold, dark evening with a steady shower of rain, but the weather did not dampen the spirits of the rally attendees. There was a certain atmosphere of peace over participants, and I truly believe that angels surrounded us. We had 14 people in attendance, including a local priest who led the Rosary. While most reactions from the public were negative, we received a few positive honks in response to our banners.

Early in the rally, an older gentleman asked the location of the chapel, where Fr. Martin’s talk was being held. “Right here,” said the priest participating in the rally. Dazed, the man walked to the front of our group to read our banner before walking off. It was a privilege to make this act of reparation to Our Lord and our Blessed Mother! We are looking forward to the next time we can actively and publicly protest and stand in defense of truth! Thank you for asking me for my rally story - I sincerely hope that it will inspire other Captains to send you their stories!
