Connecticut Catholics Oppose Father Martin

Many faithful Catholics held a rosary rally of reparation and protest against Fr. James Martin, S.J., who was speaking at a conference sponsored by the Archdiocese of Hartford, Connecticut.

During the rosary rally, a conference participant came outside and spoke to the rosary rally group stating she did not like what Father Martin was saying. Conversely, the rally participants faced some opposition from LGBTQ activists, who were attending a Pride festival down the street.

They prayed the rosary and Litany of Saint Michael, which provided an exorcistic spirit to all the evil going on around them.

Rally Captain Michael said, “These rosary rallies are so important. This is our way to show our love for God and Our Lady and make reparation for the sins and blasphemies committed against them. The benefit our souls receive is immeasurable. The rosary rallies provide a grace-filled light in a dark world.”

Honoring Our Lord in Louisville

Rally Captain Frank and many TFP-ANF supporters held a rosary rally of reparation against a Drag Queen Story Hour at Hi-Wire Brewery in Louisville, Kentucky.

The group placed Saint Benedict medals around where they stood and held signs asking cars to honk for Mother Mary, purity, and marriage. Although they didn’t receive as many honks as at their previous rallies and dealt with two vicious protestors, the group stood strong to honor Our Lord.

“I felt proud that twenty Catholics showed up to stand up in public for Our Lord’s teaching against the corruption of children. Our ANF banner was beautiful and the image of Christ and the message denouncing such DQSH perversion couldn’t be denied,” he said.

Frank encouraged others to host their own rallies: “Confronting demonic activity aimed at the sexual enculturation of children is not easy. But the devil is a coward and with Our Lady, you will prevail against him and be eternally rewarded.”

Pro-Life Supporters Pray in Wisconsin

A community of pro-life supporters gathered in Kewaskum, Wisconsin to hold a three-hour rosary rally to pray for an end to abortion and for the unborn.

Although Rally Captain Jean faced opposition from protesters who held vulgar signs and shouted profanities, she felt that Our Lady was pleased that approximately seventy people joined her in prayer.

Rally Captain Jean held a three-hour rally for the unborn in her hometown in Wisconsin.

“It was a very blessed rally with a lot of support from the community. We had a lot of support from the people passing by. The weather was especially good with a gentle breeze keeping us cool while we were there for three hours,” Jean said.

Evidence that Rosary Rallies Work

TFP-ANF supporters held two rosary rallies in the Northern York County School District in York, Pennsylvania, to make reparation against the district’s plans to host “After School Satan Clubs” and a satanic “back-to-school” event at school facilities.

Although the back-to-school event was held, the school board voted eight to one to deny satanists their proposed club— thanks to outspoken opposition. This is powerful evidence that rosary rallies work!

TFP-ANF supporter Evan said, “Some things should NOT be allowed in schools. Adults have to protect children from evil, not expose them to it. Having a program in school where Satan is invoked exposes every child—directly or indirectly— to real spiritual harm.”

The TFP-ANF supporters faced small, but unmistakably demonic, opposition at both rallies, but stood firm in taking a stand against the devil.

Spirited Protest Against Grooming of Children in Katy, Texas

More than fifty TFP-ANF supporters gathered outside of the First Christian Church in Katy, Texas, to make reparation against an upcoming Drag Queen Bingo.

Many of these drag queen events, including Drag Queen Story Hour, target children. This is one of the reasons the rosary rally supporters wanted to fight back.

The peaceful protest took place at the entrance of the church. Pro-family activists held signs that said “Stop DRAG events for kids,” “Stop sexualizing children,” “Honk Against Drag Events for Kids,” and “Male and Female He Created Them.” Participants prayed the rosary and sang hymns, often accompanied by bagpipes.

Rally Captain Cesar said, “Americans have fought back with protests against LGBT drag events for children. Since the start of September, drag shows have been cancelled in Chicago, Boise, Idaho, Denton, Texas, and Everett, Washington due to public outcry. This is proof that protests and public pressure work.”

What Happens When People Take Action

Our Lord and Our Lady triumph every day! And you help make their voices heard; they ask us to take action! You might think that your voice can’t make a difference, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Here are two examples of effective action through prayer and perseverance:

In Miami, a group of concerned mothers and their children gathered and spoke directly to the director of Saint Michael Catholic School. They petitioned for the removal of immoral books from the school’s curriculum. When the director was told these books had been used for at least two years at the school, he apologized and immediately e-mailed all the Catholic schools in Miami and urged them to remove the books from their curriculum too.

In West Chester, Pennsylvania, families spoke out against a planned LGBTQ+ event by inundating the event heads and borough officials with e-mails and phone calls asking them to stop the event. Officials were forced to cancel the West Chester Community OutFest as a result of the backlash. ■
