Points of Light: TFP Regional Conferences 2021

BY TONIA LONG

As the year 2021 presented new and greater challenges to Christian civilization, the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) and its America Needs Fatima campaign presented timely conferences related to these topics. The regional conferences provided true solutions in light of Our Lady’s apparitions at Fatima.

Zechariah Long, an organizer for the conference held in Ocala, Florida, related that one participant said to him: “In the midst of the COVID madness and riots throughout America, this conference gave me hope.”

Held on February 20, 2021, the Ocala conference opened with the challenging questions: “What are we to do? Be an ostrich and stick our heads in the sand? Or, should we be like the bold Catholics of the past who remained true to the Faith no matter the difficulties?” In answer to these questions, speakers presented talks ranging from historic perspectives, to understanding anarchy in America and Professor Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira’s view on America’s providential mission. The Ocala conference concluded with a rosary procession and festive dinner.

Following similar programs and objectives, several other conferences were held elsewhere. On March 27, TFP-Louisiana presented its annual conference at Our Lady of Prompt Succor House in Lafayette. Titled Our Lady of Fatima and The Great Reset: The Choice before Us, the conference covered topics such as egalitarianism, the cyber Revolution, the dismantling of human nature and apocalyptic times.

Catholics in the area were cordially invited to attend TFP and America Needs Fatima’s Northeast Regional Conference in Hazleton, Pennsylvania on June 13. The theme for this conference was Defeating Our Cancel and Woke Culture with Our Fatima Future. With Our Lady's blessing, this conference provided a wonderful opportunity for attendees to meet like-minded individuals and families, and make new friends. ■
