TAKEN FROM ANF’S PUBLICATION, BATTLELINES
Abolishing Sacrilegious Pride Masses in Churches
Rosary rally warriors across the country are always on the lookout for pride Masses scheduled in their towns.
Rally Captain Andres is among many who have answered the call to host peaceful and legal rallies of reparation against these sinful Masses held in churches. Every Sunday for more than six months, Andres has been praying outside St. John the Evangelist Church in San Diego in reparation for the evening pride Mass held there and the blasphemy of honoring unnatural relationships.
Andres said he plans to continue these weekly rallies and is always working to spread the word about them so other prayer warriors will join him.
Defending Catholic Truth and Christian Civilization
Approximately 150 University of Notre Dame students attended a peaceful protest against a drag show on campus in conjunction with a university-approved class about drag ideology. Alumni, TFP-ANF friends and supporters from multiple states, and TFP Student Action members also attended. The TFP Student Action members expressed that Notre Dame was abandoning its Catholic heritage and insulting Our Lady’s purity by promoting such a scandalous and perverse event.
Notre Dame students were outraged by the university’s support of the drag show. One student said, “If they want to call themselves a Catholic school, they actually need to uphold Catholic values.” Another urged others to speak out: “As Catholics, we’re not called to remain silent. Obviously, we’re called to love all persons, but love doesn’t mean sniveling on the sidelines. Love means doing something about it. Fear is not of the Lord, so don’t be afraid. Do something about it. Speak up! You can do it! Keep your eyes on God the whole time.”
Courageously Upholding Our Lady’s Values
Rally Captain Alexavier and his family did not let anything stop them from praying the rosary in the names of Jesus and Our Lady.
When Alexavier heard about a drag show and bingo being held in Sanford, North Carolina, he and his family showed up to hold a peaceful rosary rally. Although they were afraid of other protesters who wore masks and were carrying Confederate flags, they courageously remained in the area and prayed from inside their car.
Alexavier said it was important to him to host a rally and thanked TFP-ANF. “We prayed the rosary for those people and their confusion, decisions, and actions. Thank you for your great effort in helping in these difficult matters. We need Jesus and Mary but also every one of us to make his and her presence very real, with respect and love.”

Proclaiming Devotion to the Holy Rosary
TFP-ANF friends and supporters across the country are diligently spreading Our Lady’s Fatima message by hosting peaceful rosary rallies.
Rally participant Francisco said a ninety-year-old woman in Port Saint Lucy, Florida, has been holding rallies for the past seventeen years. Fifty people attended her rally this year. Francisco said it was a sign from Our Lady that it had never rained once during these rosary rallies.
In Annapolis, Maryland, Noemi held a rally against a blasphemous movie called Satanic Hispanics. She held the rally at a busy intersection where passersby saw her and said a nice lady stopped to take a picture of her when she saw her praying.
In Racine, Wisconsin, Captains Chris and Annemarie held a rally against a drag brunch at Gateway Technical College. Despite some opposition, they had many favorable honks and waves of support during the rally.
Preserving the True Meaning of Christmas
Rally captains put their faith on display to uphold the true meaning of Christmas and protest drag queen Christmas themed events in their towns.
Rally Captain Gloria gathered a group outside the Aztec Theater in San Antonio, Texas, to protest a drag queen Christmas show. “The rally was very successful! My friends were very excited to take a stand against this blasphemy. I am praying that more brave prayer warriors will join me in the future,” she said.
In Tucson, Arizona, Rally Captain Brizza organized a rally outside of Centennial Hall to protest a drag Christmas show there. The group held many signs, including a banner that said, “Christmas is about Christ and Innocence. Stop blaspheming it with drag.” Brizza said, “We had a couple of attacks, but we continued to pray. Planned Parenthood was also there getting signatures from people so we also put up our pro-life posters.”
Rally Captain Debbie held a rosary rally of reparation against a Holiday Drag Brunch in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Our Lady’s Message Is the Same in Every Language
When we pray the rosary in different languages, the words change but Our Lady’s message is always the same. Three of our dedicated rosary rally captains shared how they held public rosary rallies and prayed in English, Spanish and Tagalog.
Rally Captain Yvonne in El Paso, Texas, led a rally of nearly 100 people outside of a bustling shopping center that was located along a busy highway. A priest presided at the rally and held up a monstrance. A cloud in the shape of a cross appeared over the group while they were praying. Heaven was blessing their public witness of the Catholic faith!
In St. Petersburg, Florida, Rally Captain Coki had two groups of rosary warriors, including the church’s pastor, Fr. Don Amodeo, praying in English and Spanish in front of Nativity Catholic Church.
Rally Captain Patricia held two rallies outside of St. Madeleine Catholic Church in Pomona, California. “Both rosary rallies were a success. One was a Spanish rosary, and at the other we prayed in English, Spanish, Latin, and Tagalog,” she said. ■
