Fortnight for Freedom
Once again, the Archdiocese of Baltimore is sponsoring the "Fortnight for Freedom" from June 21st to July 4th! As Archbishop Lori stated in his homily during his Installation Mass:
“We defend religious liberty because we are lovers of every human person, seeing in the face of every man and woman also the face of Christ, who loved us to the very end of his earthly life and who still calls on us to love and serve our neighbor with the same love he has bestowed on us. We do this because Archbishop John Carroll’s generation of believers and patriots bequeathed to us a precious legacy that has enabled the Church to worship in freedom, to bear witness to Christ publicly, and to do massive and amazing works of pastoral love, education, and charity in ways that are true to the faith that inspired them in the first place.”
You can visit this page on the archdiocese's website for all the details on the many activities being held, from poster contests to prayer cards to a calendar of events. Be a part of this important celebration, support, recognize, and practice our Constitutional right to freedom of religion!

Pray the Rosary During Fortnight for Freedom!
"During this Fortnight for
Freedom, let us ask the intercession of Our Blessed Mother, Patroness of
the Americas, to help us in our quest to preserve religious freedom in
the USA. The Catholic population of the USA is estimated at 70 million.
Maybe by each of us passing this on to our friends, we could get 10% of
the Catholic population, or 7 million people, to pray the rosary for
religious freedom.
"At the end of World War II,
Soviet troops had moved in to Austria from the east. The people of
Vienna got 10% of the population to pray the rosary. Austria is the
only country that the Soviets left voluntarily.
"Our Lady of Victory, pray for us!"
Please join me in PRAYING THE ROSARY FOR FREEDOM during the Fortnight for Freedom! God already has blessed America. Let us appeal to His holy mother to remain humbly grateful for His immense blessing of freedom!
