sabel Milano, the 2019 Grand Marshall of the Sleepy Hollow, New York, St. Patrick’s Day Parade, suggested to the board that the pro-infanticide politicians who typically attend the Sleepy Hollow event be uninvited. On her recommendation, the board retracted their invitation to participate in the parade. Saint Patrick had his parade back without the presence of pro-death officials! Isabel said, “I was so outraged, that I couldn’t sit back anymore. Politicians who promote killing unborn children shouldn’t be present at a parade that celebrates a saint!” A victory! Thanks to Isabel, an army of one, for proving prayer and action are necessary to return America to God.

n Saturday, March 16, America Needs Fatima banners promoting the right to life were clearly visible as thousands marched in the annual NYC St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Undaunted by the numerous parade-goers, approximately 150 Catholics stood in prayer across from St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Hundreds of people detached from the parade to thank the protesters, lifting their voices in unified prayer against the participation of politicians who on January 22nd, voted for New York’s infanticide bill in the parade honoring St. Patrick.
Dear Soldier of Our Lady,

e look forward to the special joys and graces linked to the month of May, which is also the month of Mary Most Holy. As Prof. Plinio Correa de Oliveira wrote, in the month of Mary we "feel a special protection of Our Lady that extends to all the faithful; we feel a special joy that shines and illuminates our hearts expressing the universal certainty of Catholics that the indispensable patronage of our heavenly mother becomes even more tender, more loving and more full of visible mercy and condescendence during Her month of May." Also, on the 13th of the month, we celebrate the first apparition of Our Lady to the three shepherd children at Fatima, Portugal. In that event, the Blessed Mother asked the children to offer acts of reparation to God for the sins committed against Him, and for the conversion of sinners. Then She said, "Pray the Rosary every day to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war." In these intentions, I urge all of Our Lady's 20,000 rally captains to do a rosary rally on Saturday, May 11, at noon; the Saturday in May closest to the 13th of the month. You can use the same banner as you use for the October rally. Your rosary rally on May 11, in union with Heaven and so many other rallies, is a marvelous way to echo the Fatima message of true peace to a world that desperately needs prayer and amendment of life, and thereby preparing people for the coming triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart.

n insidious discovery was recently brought to light about a Drag Queen Story Hour in Houston, Texas. It was found that a performer at the Freed-Montrose Library story hour was a registered sex offender. 32-year-old Alberto Garzahad, convicted of assaulting an 8-year-old-boy in 2008 [according to media outlet KHOU 11], narrated the program, reading and entertaining children since the library series began in September of 2017. In a letter of apology, event organizers called the fault a “systematic mistake,” claiming that the felon was overlooked due to his involvement in the program since its inception, before background checks were required by library guidelines. DQSH has since ceased to take place at Freed-Montrose Library, but this isn’t the first time the program has been cancelled. With the help of the determined Houston America Needs Fatima Rally Captain and friends, the Drag Queen Story Hour was cancelled in November of 2018. Another victory for God and Our Lady! Will the threats against innocence never cease? Please let us know if there is a Drag Queen Story Hour happening in your public library!

n March 8, Catholic women around the United States celebrated “Lady Day,” urging America to return to God through purity and grace, as an alternative to “International Woman’s Day,” which distorts the true honor and privilege of being a woman. Lady Day organizer, Ruby Galatolo of Ocala, Florida, declared, “Celebrating one special day for true womanhood and femininity will help us carry out true Christian joy and conviction in the everyday.” In Lafayette, Louisiana, Marie Sallinger continued her three-year Lady Day tradition of taking a group to
a shrine of the Blessed Mother to pay homage. “Lady Day is something that is misunderstood – people don’t know what a lady is anymore!” Marie said. As the perfect model for femininity, we must always keep Our Lady close to our hearts, and continue to emulate Her in our daily lives. Mark your calendars for next March 8 – we hope you plan to organize your own 2020 Lady Day celebrations!

n Saturday, February 23rd, 32 Catholics stood outside Labyrinth Books in Princeton, New Jersey, to protest a Drag Queen Story Hour event. Amid honks and words of support in contrast to the mockery of passersby, these rosary warriors prayed in peaceful protest and reparation for the event taking place inside the store. Karen Kerbrat of Hillsborough, New Jersey, said the concept of DQSH horrified her. “I heard about this [DQSH] and immediately went into defense mode,” said the homeschooling mother of 3. “The idea of a drag queen would be terribly confusing to my kids it’s confusing to me as an adult!” Is your public library or book store hosting a DQSH? Check with your local library or book store and let us know at (844) 830-3570 or email deusvult.cf@gmail.com. We will help you to set up your Rosary Rally to publically protest and make reparation for the perversion of America’s greatest asset: OUR CHILDREN!
On May 13, 1917, Our Lady appeared to the three shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal, and asked them to pray every day to obtain peace for the world. May 11 is the Saturday closest to the 13th. Join the ranks of Our Lady’s Rally Captains by holding a public square Rosary Rally in Our Lady’s honor !

,108 Rosary Rallies were held coast to coast at noon local time on March 23, 2019, for the Traditional Marriage Crusade in Honor of St. Joseph. These rallies are part of America Needs Fatima’s movement to restore the true meaning and integrity of marriage and traditional values to society in the face of the growing homosexual and transgender movements.
Our society is falling farther down the path of vice every day, but the Traditional Marriage Crusade offers hope and peaceful resistance. It’s an effective way to stand against the tyranny of sin and impact public opinion. Onlookers who believe they are alone in their beliefs are reaffirmed by the public witness of the brave Rally Captains and their Rosary troops, and are encouraged to fight for truth.
“This battle is intensifying, and is not going to end until the victory of God or the devil,” ANF Rally Captain Francis Slobodnik said. “Of course God will win, but you can’t just sit and pretend it will go away!” Thanks to each of you, and to your brave and faithful troops, who stood with St. Joseph and Our Lady on March 23rd to defend traditional marriage!

hocking! February 23, 2019: A battlefield report on an unprecedented attack on Our Lady during an intense rosary rally against a Drag Queen Story Hour event at Indy Reads Books bookstore in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was unreal. One moment, we were peacefully praying the rosary, the next we heard scuffles. As we turned, we witnessed the sacrilege: suddenly a woman approached and grabbed the statue of Our Lady of Fatima. Without warning, and to our horror, she threw the statue to the ground! Only the timely intervention of a fellow prayer warrior prevented the statue from being completely destroyed. We had endured harassment from pro-transgender passersby throughout the protest, but we didn’t expect their bullying to become physical! The attacker was arrested and held in custody by the police until the time we left, and the attorney general’s office filed charges against her. Because She promises, “Finally, My Immaculate Heart will Triumph,” now, more than ever before, we must keep our posts and fight for Our Lady!
