Many TFP-ANF friends and supporters attended a Sacred Heart of Jesus Rosary Rally at Annunciation Parish in downtown Houston. The prayerful attendees assembled to make reparation against a Pride Night event the Houston Astros were hosting at their stadium across the street. The organizers of the event Rally Captain Mary and TFP-ANF friend, James, received a special blessing from the parish priest. Feli said, “Thanks be to God and the TFP for the invitation to lead a Rosary Rally. James met all in the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts of Jesus and Mary, to the Glory of God!” Many previous rally participants were blessed to be in attendance and Mary noticed many new attendees who hadn’t come to past rallies.

Reflecting on the Importance of Praying the Rosary Rally Captain Bernadette organized a Rosary Rally of Reparation as part of a Day of Reflection that was held at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Knox, Indiana. The day began with a group discussion led by a priest on why we should pray the rosary and wear the brown scapular in devotion to Our Blessed Mother. The Day of Reflection included confessions and a Mass before the public Rosary Rally. Bernadette said all who attended had a wonderful experience. “All enjoyed a beautiful day of prayer and community

camaraderie. I think I heard the remark, “I see the rosary in a new light and will now pray it every day.” Sacraments, sacramentals, and delicious food filled us both spiritually and temporarily as we enlarged our circle of faith-filled friends. I think we enjoyed a bit of heaven today!” We encourage you to plan your own Rosary Rally!

“The foundation of all our confidence is found in the Blessed Virgin Mary. God has committed to her the treasury of all good things, in order that everyone may know that through her are obtained every hope, every grace, and all salvation. For this is His will: That we obtain everything through Mary.”

Defending the Catholic Church Against Blasphemous LGBTQ Movie Rally Captains June and Michael organized a Rosary Rally of Reparation outside St. Patrick - St. Anthony Catholic Church in Hartford, Connecticut, to protest the blasphemous movie called “Wonderfully Made – LGBTQ+R(eligion)”. Michael and several TFP-ANF supporters prayerfully rallied in reparation for the church hosting a screening event for the film, which depicts Our Lord in solidarity with the LGBTQ community and includes an extremely blasphemous image of a Pride flag draped on Our Lord’s Cross. During the rally, the

group prayed for mercy for the sins that were being hurled against the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Michael said that despite some backlash, he is very glad the group held the rally. He affirmed, “Although we had some negative feedback, including from a transgender man from the parish staff, we had several demonstrations of support, even from some of the parish members. Overall it was a very blessed rally in protest and reparation of this horrible movie.”

Monthly Rosary Rally Commemorates Feast of Saint John the Baptist Rally Captain Sergio and many TFP-ANF friends and supporters commemorated the Feast Day of Saint John the Baptist during one of their monthly Men’s Rosary Rallies at Ponce de Leon Park in Coral Gables, Florida. A large group of dedicated Rosary Rally warriors attended the event and prayed in front of a statue of Our Lady. In addition to praying the rosary, they also distributed fliers to passers-by that asked everyone to pray that the month of June be restored to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and for help to “conquer the Sin of Pride.” We are fortunate to have so many dedicated Rosary Rally Captains like Sergio. It’s easy to host your own 3 Rosary Rally in your town. Contact Jose Ferraz toll-

From the desk of Robert E. Ritchie

Despite what you hear from the media, Americans are united in their love and support for our police officers. We see this most notably each year when thousands of captains across the country sign up to host Rosary Rallies honoring our police. Our nationwide Saint Michael’s Sword – Support Our Police initiative is part of the TFP’s Return to Order campaign, as Saint Michael is the patron saint of law enforcement. We hold this special, important rally every year to honor our police officers, and to stand up against those who defame and minimalize those very brave souls who have vowed to protect us. This began with just a few Rosary Rallies and quickly became a nationwide movement. We hear from many of our Rally Captains how hosting these rallies unified their communities and brought them great joy knowing they were supporting the police.

I know you want to make your voice heard, too! That’s why I hope you’ll join me and host a peaceful and legal Rosary Rally in support of the police in your town on Veterans’ Day, Saturday, November 11th, at noon. All you need to do to hold a Rosary Rally is to gather a group of friends and pray the Rosary in a public place. To help you along the way of a successful rally, we will send you a banner, special manuals and other materials. It’s easy to sign up: Fill out the Confirmation Receipt enclosed with this issue or email Protest@TFP.org. When we pray the Rosary for our police and their safety, we let the world know that we are praying for a return to order in America. Join us on November 11 at a public Rosary Rally to support our police! Sincerely, In Jesus and Mary, Robert E. Ritchie Executive Director

Nationwide Billboard Campaign Promotes the Sacred Heart of Jesus

June belongs to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, not homosexual pride A TFP-ANF campaign to promote June as the Sacred Heart of Jesus saw 93 billboards posted in 12 states across America, including 26 in Florida alone. There were also 1,205 public square Rosary Rallies of protest and reparation. This campaign was sparked by our chapter in Ocala, Florida. When dedicated correspondents Dominick and Ruby saw offensive displays celebrating “pride” at their supermarket, they took a stand and quickly organized three billboards in their area honoring the Sacred Heart. After sharing their story on our weekly

conference call, others were eager to do the same in their states. Millions of people read these billboards because of Domenick and Rudy’s inspiration. These public acts of reparation served as a huge blessing for our nation and a most holy way to honor Our Lord. Next June we plan on repeating this effort with even more billboards. Would you like to help us by renting one or a few billboards in your area? Or by contributing with a donation especially dedicated for this purpose? For more information or to make a pledge to rent a billboard, contact Jose at Protest@TFP.org or call (844) 830-3750. Thank you for being one who truly loves Our Lord and stands up to console His Sacred Heart. It is devotion to the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts that will bring our nation back to one Our Lady won’t be ashamed of. 4
