Prayer, Courage and Public Witness Mark Protest Against All-Ages Drag Brunch
When rally captain Jorge heard about a Drag Queen brunch that was happening in La Puente, California, he knew he had to respond with courage, prayer and public witness to protest normalizing immoral lifestyles. The event, open to all ages and hosted at the City of La Puente Community Center, deeply concerned Jorge as a man of Faith devoted to honoring God and Our Lady. He understood that unless people protest with peaceful, prayerful resolve, events like this will become increasingly common in public spaces and familyfriendly restaurants, changing the atmosphere families expect when they simply want to enjoy a normal meal together.
Jorge gathered a group of his friends and family and organized a peaceful and legal protest outside the community center. Despite the intense heat and resistance from individuals who objected to their prayers, Jorge remained determined to pray for those taking part in the immoral event.
“It made me feel great to honor God and Our Lady doing this. I would tell others that there is no greater struggle than to fight for the honor of God and Our Lady,” he said.

rally. Overall, Joe said it was a peaceful rally, and God was very good to the group.
“I was a little nervous about this, but we placed ourselves in the hands of God and the Blessed Mother,” he said. “To others that want to lead a rosary rally or have led one, do it for Our Lady and the salvation of all souls. Let us remember that Heaven is our homeland and God wants all of us there to be with Him and Our Mother for all eternity!”
Defending the Moral Teachings of Jesus
Catholics protest Fr. James Martin’s pro-LGBTQ agenda
June is the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, not homosexual “Pride”. That’s why faithful Catholics gathered in West Hartford, Connecticut, and Washington, D.C., to protest two events that month featuring Fr. James Martin.
Fr. Martin, a Jesuit priest, is widely known for the strong promotion of his LGBTQ ministries. For example, he has said that Catholics must “reverence” homosexual unions, expressed support for transgenderism for children and favored homosexual kissing at the kiss of peace during Holy Mass.
In Connecticut, rally captain Michael brought a group together to protest Fr. Martin’s talk at the Holy Family
Passionist Retreat Center. Michael said the rosary rally was successful and they received many positive reactions from passersby. While they prayed, the group held signs that read “Fr. Martin’s Bridge to Sin offends God” and “Fr. Martin’s Pro-LGBT Views cause Scandal.”
Other prayer warriors gathered at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., to protest the rainbow priest’s proLGBT “Outreach” conference.
In addition to Fr. Martin, the event featured several other speakers known for rejecting or challenging Catholic moral teaching on marriage, family and human nature.

Mother and Daughters Brave Cold in Prayerful Protest Against Drag Brunch
Neither cold, nor driving wind, nor hostile stares can stop the grace that comes through prayer.
That’s what rally captain Lourdes and her daughters discovered when they organized a peaceful protest against a Drag brunch in Madison, Wisconsin, and prayed for the conversion of all young people.
“Seeing my daughters endure the cold and wind brought me great joy,” Lourdes said. “I taught them that we must be willing to face adversity and suffering for God, Who will take many things into account, when it is done wholeheartedly and with love.”
She added that her daughter, Lea, would say, “Earning heaven is very difficult, but with sacrifices and great obedience, it is possible, especially by opening one’s heart to God so that He can do what pleases Him in us.”
YOU CAN HELP
“Suffering, when endured with love, is pleasing to Him, and I encourage them to strive to sacrifice themselves a little,” Lourdes confirmed.

Call Souls Back to the Sacred Heart
Not long ago, June was widely recognized as the month dedicated to honoring the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Yet, once again, His Sacred Heart was under attack by the promotion of homosexual “Pride.” In faithful response, our rally captains across the country jumped into action, organizing peaceful and legal rosary rallies in their towns.
People gathered at 1,472 individual rallies across the country to turn those who have strayed back to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It was a successful campaign, with many protesting LGBTQ pride events at local libraries, colleges and Catholic churches.
Rally captain Frances gathered her friends and family and prayed at a busy intersection in San Antonio, Texas. “One person walked by and cursed us, but many people passing by in their cars honked in appreciation and gave us a thumbs up when they saw us praying,” she said.
courage of faithful Catholics nationwide who refused to remain silent. Despite mockery and opposition, they stood firm in prayer, offering public reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and calling souls back to Him. When Catholics unite in peaceful witness, they can bring the light of faith into the public square and proclaim, without fear, that Christ must be honored!

Nearly 110 years after Our Lady first appeared at Fatima, we recognize that remaining devoted to praying the rosary in public will continue to bring light and hope to our world.
Last year, more than 23,090 Public Square Rosary Crusade rallies were held across the country to urgently pray for the conversion of our nation and peace in our land. Our faithful prayer warriors showed up to host peaceful and legal rosary rallies on public street corners and in public parks in their towns.
Seeing the success of these rallies proves to us how much God and Our Lady want us to answer the call to continue to pray in public. That’s why this year we are setting an even more ambitious goal – to hit the milestone of 23,500 simultaneous rosary rallies.
Every time we pray the rosary in public, we know we are helping to fulfill Our Lady’s message at Fatima to “say the
rosary every day, to obtain peace for the world.”
I know you share my strong desire to pray the rosary in public and know that chaos only ends when we return to God.
That’s why I hope you’ll join me and thousands of other rally captains and faithful prayer warriors across the country in this special Public Square Rosary Crusade this October. Gather your family, friends, and neighbors to pray the rosary together in public and help bring about the triumph of Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart, as she promised at Fatima.
It’s easy to participate—simply gather in a public place on Saturday, October 10, at noon your local time. To sign up, please fill out the enclosed Confirmation Receipt or email Protest@TFP.org.
Please help me pray the rosary for America by joining in this special campaign. Every time you stand up in public prayer, you honor God and Our Lady.
Sincerely in Jesus and Mary,
Robert E. Ritchie Executive Director
Protesting LGBTQ Ceremony at Jesuit-Run Boston College
Faithful Catholics held a rosary rally of protest and reparation outside Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, to oppose the Jesuit-run school’s “Lavender Graduation” ceremony, which celebrates the LGBTQ movement on campus.
Despite its Catholic roots as an institution founded by the Society of Jesus, Boston College chose to host the graduation ceremony, claiming it “recognizes students’ resilience and creates an inclusive space before the main commencement.”
Rally captain William, who planned the rally with
co-captain Kenneth, said it was important for the group to publicly protest the Catholic institution for promoting such an unnatural vice.
Although the rally drew some negative reactions, the support they received was far greater. “Thanks be to Our Lady, there was much support for us as we prayed the Rosary,” Williams said. “For every thumbsdown or act of visible mockery, there were at least five thumbs-up and shouts of encouragement from drivers passing by.”
