In Carmel, Indiana
Under the mantle of Saint Michael, Americans storm Heaven with prayer, begging for the safety of our police who so valiantly face danger every day. During some of the rallies, the officers participated in the prayers. Carol Ann of Carmel, Indiana, gave her local police chief enough blessed Saint Michael medals for every man, woman and K9 on the force.
“The Chief and his wife were so taken by the rosary, they stayed to the end,” Carol Ann wrote. The officers who were there said they wanted to make sure to always keep the medals safe and close.
Our prayers are making a difference!
In Kansas City, Missouri
On the steps of the police headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri, faithful Catholics have gathered in prayerful defense of police for months. During one rally, where about forty-five people attended, the Kanas City police chief, who has endured unfair criticism by the local press and members of the city council, visited with attendees and handed out bottled water to the prayer warriors.
“People understand the enormous need that our police have for organized, peaceful, legal, and prayerful support,” rally participant Jack said. “The police were very happy to have us there. Our presence did an enormous good and boosted the morale of this brave, persecuted, and thin blue line!”
In Luray, Virginia
In September 2020, Therese and her family, in Luray, Virginia, held four peaceful, prayerful rallies in support of the police. During one occasion, the chief of police himself came to thank all gathered in prayer.
“We want to be a good instrument of her [Our Lady’s] work,” said Therese, a veteran prayer warrior. “We are the prayerful militia, and we have to pray with courage and conviction! Our police need our special prayers and support more than ever. America needs Our Lady’s saving grace, and we faithful Catholics must continue to raise our voices in public prayer! I encourage you to join America Needs Fatima in supporting peaceful, public rallies in prayerful support of our police.”
And in West Bend, Wisconsin
Every Saturday since June 1, 2020, Jean and her family of West Bend, Wisconsin, have stood in peaceful, public prayer, begging for the deliverance of America. Twenty to thirty fellow Catholics often join them. As the world continued to face crises, Jean turned her peaceful prayer to an intention so important in today’s America: the safety of our police.
“I’m not going to cave to the pressure of people who oppose the police,” Jean said in an interview. “Our rallies remind people that God is always there—Satan never rests, and we can’t either!”
