South Africa Inspires Thousands of Rallies! S
ome years ago, South African Bernadette Tuffin volunteered at the Rossville, Kansas, Rosary Rally Call Center, aiming to recruit Rally Captains for the October Public Square Rosary Campaign. Inspired by ANF’s dedication to Our Lady, Bernadette returned to South Africa enthusiastically wanting to share the concept of public prayer and the idea of a Rosary Campaign. In 2015, 250 South African Rosary Rallies were held thanks to Bernadette’s initiative! Since then, the number of rallies has grown steadily. In 2018, there were 1,030 rallies, and the goal for 2019 is 1,250. “The Rosary Crusade has also attracted the attention of devotees in neighboring countries,” Bernadette said, “and successful rallies are now the order of the day in various countries of the African Continent!” Through Bernadette’s actions, Our Lady has been able to spread Her mantle far and wide, saving souls and spreading grace to thousands more.

he growth of Drag Queen Story Hour, in which men dressed as women read and dance in a lewd manner to entertain children as young as three, has evolved into enlisting children to participate in some of these abhorrent events and even in drag dances at nightclubs. The goal all along was to corrupt society’s most innocent children—as one self-described drag performer in Lafayette, Louisiana said, “This is gonna be the grooming of the next generation!” But not everyone is embracing this culture of impurity! In Ohio, lawmakers are moving to make child drag performances illegal. According to Sons of Liberty Media: “Republican State Representative, Tim Schaffer introduced House Bill 180, which amends Ohio’s child endangerment statute to include involving minors in any material or performance that ‘suggests a minor is participating or engaging in sexual activity, masturbation, or bestiality activity.’” These public laws against such vile acts are proof your protest rallies produce victories for God! Keep fighting the good fight!

rugs, sexual perversion, and deviant programs such as Drag Queen Story Hour—an event that is taking place in public libraries across America—are corrupting our young children. Sins such as abortion, blasphemy, homosexual “marriage,” transgenderism, and Satanism are permeating society and becoming more accepted in our culture. Our Lady weeps seeing Her children turn their faces from God! In response, She calls us to pray in reparation for these offenses against Her Son and to denounce these evils publicly. To help dry Her tears, would you consider becoming a prayer warrior for Our Lady—a Champion of Mary?
atricia Bascom of the Greater Charleston South Carolina Area and her husband, both friends and supporters of America Needs Fatima, recently went above and beyond the call of prayer and action when they hosted a dinner party for about thirty fellow Rally Captains in their Summerville home on July 19, 2019. It was a grand event, fostering an uplifting, positive community of like-minded Catholics and sending the message “You are not alone!” “People were very enthusiastic and happy to meet others like themselves and talk about the faith,” Patricia said. “I want it to be a first of many get-togethers!”
What is a Champion of Mary? A Champion of Mary is someone who: realizes that we must fight all evils, not just one; believes the Holy Rosary is a spiritual weapon of immense power; believes prayer life overflows into effective, legal, and peaceful action; and, is willing to work consistently with America Needs Fatima to achieve great things for the Blessed Virgin Mary and to save souls by opposing evil on many fronts. In other words, when an evil surfaces in your area, you would lead a public rosary of reparation to oppose it. Local ANF members will join you. You will be supported by the ANF national office and network of volunteers. You may wonder… Am I qualified for such a task? Do I feel this in my soul? Can I act? Well, if you are on fire for God and His Holy Mother, and if you grieve for the sins of America, then you are the right person for the mission. To find out more about becoming a Champion of Mary, please read the special letter and reply card enclosed.

The very next day, the Bascoms and twenty others protested against a Planned Parenthood fundraiser. The fundraiser, which included donations of baked goods from numerous local restaurants, was held to put a positive spin on infanticide. Patricia said that holding a community-based event, like a bake sale, is a scheme for public support and community acceptance. “It gives the organization credibility,” Patricia said. “People think, ‘These great restaurants and famous chefs are supporting Planned Parenthood—then I should too!’” But Our Lady’s warriors knew better! Planned Parenthood’s efforts to entice the community into supporting its murderous cause was overshadowed by prayer, reminding passersby that supporting Planned Parenthood means supporting infanticide.

ear reader, over the last year, we have seen an increase of Drag Queen Story Hour. Answering the call, brave soldiers of Our Lady continue to stand for truth, legally and peacefully, in the public square. However, the growing satanic influence on society can cause one to question if his rally has any effect.
Rosary Rallies indeed have an impact! Because of public witness, Drag Queen Story Hour and its damaging effects on children were exposed. In Texas, news accounts reported that a couple of the Drag Queens were registered sex offenders! Because of your protests, DQSH events were canceled in many states including Texas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. Government officials are starting to get involved, too. In Ohio, the house speaker wrote a letter of disapproval causing an event to be canceled. Lawmakers are moving to make child drag a crime. Our Lady needs you to continue fighting valiantly on Her behalf! 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!

ur culture is saturated with sin, and our children’s innocence and future are attacked from all sides. We don’t have a choice but to fight. As Champions of Mary, we battle issues in our small Wisconsin town, and sometimes we even travel hundreds of miles to participate in protest rallies. One summer our family traveled to Belle Plaine, Minnesota, to protest the erection of a Satanic monument. By the grace of God, and through the help of other concerned warriors of Our Lady, it was a victory for Mary. Another time, we traveled to New York to protest a blasphemous display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Our Lady’s fight is everywhere!
Being a Champion of Mary is more urgent than ever. Holding and attending rallies once or twice a year is no longer sufficient to combat the growing intensity of evil. If we do not stand up to stop evil when it shows itself, evil will win! Are you interested in becoming a Champion of Mary? Let José know at protest@TFP.org or call toll-free at (844) 830-3570.

omebody who says his Rosary alone only gains the merit of one Rosary, but if he says it together with thirty other people he gains the merit of thirty Rosaries.” “[W]hen people say the Rosary together it is far more formidable to the devil than one said privately, because in this public prayer it is an army that is attacking him. He can often overcome the prayer of an individual, but if this prayer is joined to that of other Christians, the devil has much more trouble in getting the best of it. It is easy to break a single
stick, but if you join it to others to make a bundle it cannot be broken. In union there is strength.” “Soldiers join together in an army to overcome their enemies; wicked people often get together for parties of debauchery and dancing, and evil spirits join forces in order to make us lose our souls. So why, then, should not Christians join forces to have Jesus Christ present with them when they pray, to appease Almighty God’s anger, to draw down His grace and mercy upon us, and to frustrate and overcome the devil and his angels more forcefully?” (The Secret of the Rosary, St. Louis de Montfort p. 90)

or ten years, Maureen Coon and her group of prayer warriors have stood in public reparation through radiant sun, torrential downpours, and freezing blizzards in front of City Hall in Nampa, Idaho, fulfilling their promise to Our Lady to hold a Rosary Rally on the first Saturday of every month. Through the commotion and rush of the city, prayers and hymns are heard, reaching heaven in tones of profound supplication for mercy for America. The Idaho Catholic Register, official newspaper of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Boise, whose mission is “to unify the far-flung Catholic Church of Idaho; . . . and inspire Idaho Catholics in their faith,” took note and reported in a lengthy article in its June 21, 2019 issue Maureen’s decade-long prayer of reparation. “We need to get people aware of the fact that we are a declining nation,” Maureen said, “and we need to fight evil with prayer—our only weapon.” Dear reader, you, too, can fight evil with prayer! Are you interested in standing in prayerful reparation just as Maureen has done? Let us know at protest@TFP.org or call toll-free at (844) 830-3570!

n August 10, Catholics once again came to the defense of the Faith when the annual satanic celebration, “Hex Fest,” came to New Orleans, Louisiana, on August 9-11. Just like last year, Catholics held a Rosary Rally of reparation half a block away from the evil festivities. Armed with prayer and a statue of Our Lady of Fatima, the protesters prayed peacefully, calling for mercy on the souls nearby that were paying homage to Satan and calling for Mary’s protection on America from the witchcraft being practiced there. More and more, Satanism is popping up in our communities. We must not let it seep into our homes and our culture—we must continue to fight evil at all costs!

olding a Rosary Rally of reparation and protest on Sunday, June 30, twenty-one concerned Catholics rallied against the second annual LGBTQ Pride Mass being said at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Hoboken, New Jersey. During Mass, which was offered in support of the LGBTQ community, attendees were encouraged to participate in the Homosexual Pride Parade to be held in NYC later that day.
It was almost surreal seeing people attend this unorthodox Mass. Such a horrendous blasphemy needed to be atoned for—which was why we were there! Recognizing truth, some concerned parishioners attended our protest, while those entering the church were not afraid to show their disapproval— some made obscene gestures or comments and yelled at us. I could tell the rally participants experienced deep sadness and spiritual pain, as we understood how grievous this Mass was to Our Lord and Our Lady. However, we had the moral conviction that we were consoling Them and sharing, in some small way, in Our Lord’s Passion.
