Victory! Catholic College Reverses Pro-Transgender Policy

Your prayerful protests always make a difference! Saint Mary’s College, an all-girls Catholic school in Notre Dame, Indiana, reversed its immoral decision to allow men who “identify” as women to enroll at the school after 21,500 people signed a TFP Student Action petition.

The petition urged the college to uphold Catholic morality and reverse the decision to allow biological men to enroll as women. Your voice in this fight was heard, as St. Mary’s President Dr. Katie Conboy said she chose to reverse the decision because she couldn’t ignore the voices of so many faithful Catholic students, alumni, parents, and supporters.

You had the courage to speak up against the transgender revolution and helped defend God’s plan for the family. And, as St. Mary’s College student Claire Bettag said, “God’s truth will always win.”

When Mary holds you up, you will not fall; when she protects you, you need not fear; when she leads you, you will not tire yourself; when she is favorable to you, you will arrive at the harbor safely.”

Reparation for Church Desecration

A dedicated group of TFP-ANF supporters held a Rosary Rally of Reparation during a Saturday vigil Mass at St. John the Baptist Church in Milpitas, California, to protest an act of vandalism at the church.

The group was making reparation against the sinful acts of the vandals, who broke into the church, forced open the tabernacle and desecrated the Blessed Sacrament. Many supporters traveled from several other cities across California to attend the rally. Rally Captain Philip said the rally participants handed out fliers about the protest to cars stopped at a nearby traffic light. There were many good reactions from the passersby to the protest.

Proclaiming Support for Innocent Life

Many TFP-ANF friends were among the thousands of pro-life supporters who gathered for the 51st annual March for Life in Washington, D.C.

TFP members encouraged pro-lifers to continue their battle to eliminate abortion in America. The Holy Choirs of Angels Band played, ANF members carried a statue of Our Lady of Fatima and staff from St. Louis de Montfort Academy joined in full force. A TFP banner on display read, in part: “’Fight on, with confidence! With God, we win!”

Despite cold and damp weather, enthusiasm and determination among the pro-life supporters were very evident this year. In addition to America, supporters came from around the world including Canada, Mexico, Ireland, Brazil and Ecuador to participate.

From the desk of

Robert E. Ritchie

On May 13th, 1917, Our Lady first appeared to the three children at Fatima. She asked them to offer themselves to God, and told them to pray the rosary every day to obtain peace for the world.

It is through praying the rosary daily that we will discover the secrets of God’s unending love and mercy. Over 100 years after Our Lady’s appearance, the rosary continues to be the most effective weapon against sin and the greatest consolation to Mary’s Immaculate Heart.

As Saint Louis de Montfort said, “The rosary is the most powerful weapon to touch the Heart of Jesus, Our Redeemer, who loves His Mother.” This is continuously proven to be true through the countless miracles, conversions and victories that we see around us.

I know that you want to honor Our Lady and pray for the conversion of sinners and the restoration of order in our society. That’s why I’m asking you to pledge to lead a Rosary Rally for a special campaign in May celebrating the importance of Our Lady’s Fatima message.

Sign up to host a Rosary Rally on Saturday, May 11 at 12 noon your local time. It’s easy to do: just gather your friends and family and get out in public to pray the rosary. To help you have a successful rally, we will send you a banner, special manuals and other materials, completely free. It’s easy to sign up: Fill out the Confirmation Receipt enclosed with this issue or email Protest@TFP.org.

We can come together and use the power of public prayer to pray for the salvation and sanctification of the world.

Sincerely, In Jesus and Mary,

Robert E. Ritchie Executive Director
