Your gift makes a difference in helping to uphold, defend and support the Catholic Faith and the Catholic Family! <[link removed]?>
Dear Friend,
I am writing to thank you for your continued support for Catholic Action for Faith and Family and to ask for your financial support in joining a new imperative to mount a coordinated response to tackle critical problems in our world and in our Church.
Have you felt like something is off in the world lately? 2023 has been a tumultuous year and arguably one the darkest times in recent history. It appears vast crises have been simply deferred to 2024. The tension is in the air as news is awash with dire predictions; and by all accounts, the post-Covid world is ill equipped to respond since it is exhausted, divided and ultimately more challenged than in decades.
Are you and I as Catholics going to be Heaven’s change agents?
Yes, WE ARE!
Although it seems almost impossible, together you and I have the power to change History!
But this is a monumental effort for which I need your urgent support! Will you help?
For Catholic Action for Faith and Family,
It’s Not a Matter of ‘If’, It’s a Matter of ‘What’s Next’
In mid November in California, I had the opportunity to meet with Cardinal Burke to discuss plans and activities for Catholic Action for 2024. The discussions were positive and encouraging in that the faithful can and will prosper in the midst of chaos brought on by a world where uncertainty is the new normal. This type of suffering can inspire faithful to turn more to God for spiritual as well as moral support.
Overshadowing these plans was a New Imperative stated by His Eminence that only the truth of Christ, as it is handed down to us in the unchanging and unchangeable doctrine and discipline of the Church can effectively address the challenges of today. This light of truth will uncover the ideologies at work in our world and correct the deadly confusion, error and division it is propagating in the world and in the Mystical Body of Christ.
At some point in life, we all must come to understand that anything worth having is worth fighting for. If we have a hope, destiny, dream, business, marriage, vision, or any aspiration we would like to see happen, we are often going to have to fight for it.
This effort can only succeed with your heartfelt support and the support of thousands of devout Catholic friends that I am writing to today as well.
Right now your tax-deductible contribution of $35, $50, $165, $500, or other amount will guarantee that I can grow our campaigns and programs exponentially.
Your support is critical to ensure our activities and resources reach everyone feeling discouraged and isolated in their spiritual struggles so we can band together with irresistible fervor and Hope!

Marching forward, we must come to terms with the reality that the Christian life is essentially missionary. In this regard, Cardinal Burke exhorted us by saying, “If we truly believe in Christ, if we truly live in Him, we will desire to share our faith, the life of Christ within us, with others, both those near and those far away.”
OUR BATTLE CRY
My fellow rosary warriors, in other words, the time for hiding behind church walls is over. Together with His Eminence, I’m issuing a battle cry for faithful Catholics to stop playing defense and go on the offensive. We will storm heaven like never before to recapture spheres of influence FOR THE KINGDOM!
To achieve our objectives, Cardinal Burke went on to stress, “Today, as in every time of her history, the Church must employ all of the most efficacious means to preach the Gospel to the greatest number of persons.”
In short, Catholic Action for Faith and Family intends to mobilize a robust set of plans designed to usher in a new era of dialogue and formation intent on upholding, defending and supporting the Catholic Faith and the Catholic Family.
Can I count on you?
We are going to need perseverance and courage for the fight. One profile in courage I am reminded of at this time is that of British prime minister Winston Churchill who was rehearsing for what became a famous wartime speech while traveling in a car with Major General Hastings Ismay.
When he came to the famous sentence, “Never in the history of mankind have so many owed so much to so few”, Ismay said, “What about Jesus and his disciples?” “Good old Pug,” said Winston, who immediately changed the wording to “Never in the field of human conflict…”
Describing the efforts of the Allied aircrews of The Royal Air Force (RAF), Churchill’s speech is also remembered for the use of “the few” and describing their heroic efforts also reflected Great Britain’s decision to continue the war with an inflexible resolve.
OUR CHRISTIAN RESOLVE
Inspired by this resolve, I too am writing today asking for your support and to join me in making the same decision as we prepare to fight the good fight of faith and for our Church that we love.
The reality is the 21st century is indeed a moral and spiritual battlefield of immense proportions. This battle is often hidden, but the battle is real and is progressively killing the remaining Christian ethos in our society and culture, and even in our homes.
We NEED Divine help and we NEED EACH OTHER!
With your dedicated support, together with that of our family of souls, both ‘clergy and laity’ standing and fighting side-by-side, Catholic Action intends to lead the way.
Your valuable assistance to our work at Catholic Action for Faith and Family is vital to our mission: “to strive to uphold and defend Christian values inspired by the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.”
It is through your generosity that we have been able, in every season, to continually expand our efforts to mobilize the active participation of the laity in the apostolate of the Church under the guidance of our Patron and Shepherd, Cardinal Burke.
To reflect on the past year and how Catholic Action intends to Finish Forward to ensure a strong start in 2024, and how we will usher in our most important and dynamic year since our founding………. please click here to read the Year in Review and Plans for 2024. <[link removed]?>
Prior to outlining achievements for the year and our ambitious set of plans moving forward, please allow me to make an observation.
As members of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church we know there have been times of great despair, confusion, misguidance and worse. But we also know that at such times we must confront them with heroic acts of Faith, Hope and Charity, the three theological virtues.
<[link removed]?>DONATE NOW <[link removed]?>
May the Divine Infant Jesus through His Holy Mother and St. Joseph bless you and your loved ones with many graces and blessings now and throughout the Christmas Season!
Thank you for all that you do.
Surrounded by the radiating love of the Infant King,
Thomas J. McKenna
Founder and President
