Start of a Legacy: Rosary Rallies in Colombia!
A
n active Rally Captain for many years, Ruby Galatolo of Ocala, Florida, knew she wanted to hold a Rosary Rally during her travels in Colombia, and packed a Spanish America Need Fatima banner in her suitcase. One morning, Ruby was inspired to take the banner to daily Mass and asked the priest to announce that a public Rosary would be said following the liturgy. Twenty-five people joined Ruby and her family for a Rosary procession from the church, to the busy corner of a street. Enthused by Ruby’s devotion, for three consecutive days after daily Mass, a group gathered to pray and process. People would see the procession and suddenly join in from the street, many blessing themselves or mumbling the Rosary while they passed. “You never know how you can be an instrument of Our Lady in saving a soul,” said Ruby, “public witness can penetrate a soul more than we will ever know!”

ith temperatures peaking 100 degrees, 30 to 40 faithful Catholics stood in prayerful protest on Saturday, June 29, 2019, outside Severna Park Community Library in Severna Park, Maryland. The library was hosting not one, but two back-to-back Drag Queen Story Hour events that day. In reparation and opposition, Rally Captain Richard LeBoeuf of Catonsville, Maryland, spearheaded two public square Rosary rallies in response to these events. “It’s important that people realize that these [DQSH] are evil,” Richard said. “Those of us who realize this aren’t going to sit back without saying something against it,” he continued. Dear reader, as Richard said, we must not sit back and let evil corrupt society’s most innocent members! Check if your local library is hosting a DQSH, and let José know at protest@TFP.org, or call toll-free at (844) 830-3570!
S Dear Soldier of Our Lady,
O
n September 15, we honor the Sorrows of the Blessed Mother. While I urge you to pray to Our Lady of Sorrows as a way to grow closer to Her, there is another very effective way to share Her Sorrows, and at the same time to protect the most vulnerable in our society: the little children. In tax payer-funded public libraries all across the nation, little children — infants three to six years of age — are being subjected to Drag Queen Story Hours, where adult men, dressed in “drag,” read pro-sodomite stories to normalize the homosexual agenda. Our Catholic clergy is largely silent about this abomination: pulpits raise little to no cry of outrage and reparation. In Heaven, the Holy Virgin weeps. She looks to you and me to see if we will defend Her precious, innocent children. Many of Our Lady’s Rally Captains are answering Her call by leading a Rosary of reparation against the Drag Queen Story Hour at their local library. You are invited to do the same! We must not remain silent in the face of such a despicable attack against our children. The Drag Queen events are shocking enough on their own. Did you know that one of the “Drag Queen” performers admitted publically that “this is gonna be the grooming of the next generation (TFPStudentAction.org)?” Parents in Houston, Texas were scandalized when they found out that two of the “Drag Queen” performers that were going to have access to children were registered child sex offenders! (MassResistance.org) For immediate assistance on how to lead your Rosary of reparation, please call Lia at 844-830-3570 or email to protest@TFP.org right away. Thank you for taking a heroic stand in honor of Our Lady of Sorrows, protecting the most vulnerable of God’s children! In Jesus and Mary

aturday, June 22, 2019, Rally Captain Steve Scheerbaum and 18 other faithful Catholics stood outside Slover Library in Norfolk, Virginia, for a Rosary Rally of Reparation against the Drag Queen Story Hour. Steve quickly organized a rally after being notified by a friend about the event just a few days before. “This is a battle that we need to fight,” Steve said, “God puts us all in a time and place for a reason. I knew Our Lady wanted me to lead this rally!” The rally was met with aggressive opposition, as ‘Pridefest’ was taking place, and supporters of the homosexual and transgender agenda were actively milling in and about the venue, verbally denouncing the prayer warriors fighting for innocence. Though the atmosphere was hostile, the rally was blessed for its heroic witness!

previously fallen-away Catholic, Phillip Trickett of San Antonio, Texas, returned to the faith through the power of the Rosary: During a protest against abortion, someone handed him a Rosary, and he allowed himself to feel the grace of Our Lady.
Now, the Rally Captain of 6 years leads a Rosary Rally, not just in October in honor of Our Lady of Fatima, but on the first Saturday of every month. “I got to thinking, ‘this is a good thing. It’s easy to do; I’ve been given materials...” Phillip said, “maybe I should do this more often!’” And so he did. Now, Phillip has a small group of about fifteen who attend his monthly rally. “To be faithful,” Phillip continued, “not only do you have to act your religion, but you also have to inspire others to act as well!”
dren,” said Mary Anne, who vows not to frequent the library any more. “It’s heartbreaking!” During the week preceding the DQSH, Mary Anne organized a phone campaign, where she and others called the library asking them to cancel the event. “We are called to pray and do apostolic work through action,” said the new Champion of Mary, “it’s our duty to fight falsehood!” BY J OS EPH INA BLAK E

he Leander Public Library in Texas was caught in a great controversy when they allowed a “Drag Queen Story Hour” to be a part of their “family” activities in June of 2019. The community responded to the DQSH with both an intensely positive and negative reaction. In a drastic move, not only was the initial DQSH canceled, but the library also decided to close off all applications for any organization to rent out the library facility. You can do it too! Is your local library hosting a DQSH? Let José know at Protest@TFP.org, or call toll free (844) 8303570! He will help you stand for God.
In the face of the library’s decision to halt all outside activity from coming into the library, the city and the city council, according to Fox7, are expected to come to a solution later in the summer. Dear reader, though the DQSH has been successfully shut down in Leander for now, we must remain vigilant to ensure the preservation of the innocence of our children!

n June 29, 2019, the last Saturday of the month, Mary Anne Letourneaus of New Bedford, Massachusetts, hosted her first Public Square Rosary Rally. With the knowledge that Our Lady was by her side, Mary Anne defended the Faith when the New Bedford Public Library hosted a Drag Queen Story Hour at the taxpayer-funded facility. “The homosexual movement wants to indoctrinate our chil-

t. John’s Library in Portland, Oregon, was exposed in July of 2019, after the Multnomah County Library posted disturbing images on social media of a Drag Queen Story Hour event held at the venue in October of 2018. The images showed drag queens frolicking with little children – with boys and girls as young as 4 or 5 lying on top of grown men dressed as women. The post went viral, capturing the attention of The Blaze, LifeSite News, and Activist Mommy Elizabeth Johnson. When Multnomah County Library discreetly disposed of the images after the public reacted negatively to the images, Elizabeth launched a petition to the American Library Association, urging them to stop DQSH. “Our youth culture is drowning in an identity crisis,” said Elizabeth in a Youtube video, “gender insanity is ruining our nation and our credibility as a people.”

rmed with the greatest weapon, the Rosary, Thomas Zimmerman of Fecil, Pennsylvania, has combated evil with public prayer for over ten years. As we face more and more onslaughts from institutions that have traditionally been trusted to bring greater good to society, Thomas steadfastly continues to fight for the truth. Most recently, Thomas has faced off with the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon, the Ivy League research university, when the institutions agreed to host Drag Queen Story Hour events. “The devil uses these institutions because they are well known,” Thomas said, “Why are we permitting our positive institutions to be used for terrible things? These establishments are supposed to benefit society, instead of furthering the ideals of the devil.” By the grace of Our Lady, and through his perseverance with multiple public Rosary Rallies, Thomas has seen success against the organizations: both Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon cancelled their DQSH events for the rest of the season. A tremendous victory for Mary!

n Omaha, Nebraska, a group of twenty-five faithful Catholics gathered for the second time this year to pray a Rosary of reparation against the Drag Queen Story Hour scheduled to take place at B-side of Benson Theater in Omaha, Nebraska. The first rally — a rally of thanksgiving — was held in May of 2019, after the group was able to have the event postponed successfully. The vigilant Catholics in Omaha kept on the lookout for the DQSH’s return, however, which came on July 13. This time, there were more counter-protestors present, but unlike the last rally, the opposition refrained from aggressiveness and vulgarity — no doubt due to the police presence. Rally participant, Francis Slobodnik drove from Kansas to attend the rally. “It takes a special kind of malice to force children into immorality,” he said, “it is our duty to defend Our Lord’s innocent children — it’s not just a nice act. If you are Catholic, you have to stand for Our Lord.” Don’t be afraid to stand for Our Lord, and stand for truth! Is your local library hosting a DQSH?
