Dear Friend,
I want to thank you for your continued support for Catholic
Action for Faith and Family and to ask for your financial support for
our new initiatives throughout the Jubilee
Year.
When I founded Catholic Action, along with Cardinal Burke, I
placed our work under the patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a
solid anchor for sinners, who continues to strengthen us firmly in
hope.
So many times, I’ve mentioned the word “hope.” Our world,
filled with wars, killings, violence- the respect for human life has
significantly decayed. Catholic Action strives to
give the hope that does not
disappoint to the weary.
Looking out over the landscape of
our culture today, everyone knows that a war rages in this country. It
is a war on the Church, on religious believers, and on Christian and
human values. Most importantly, it is a war for souls: individual
souls and the very soul of our country. The status quo is not working.
The time has come to make some radical choices, return to our roots,
live fundamentally different lives, and proclaim the Gospel
fearlessly.
Catholic Action for Faith and
Family places faith and family at the center of its mission and sets
forth to restore our society to its foundational Christian order,
virtuous living, and the pursuit of God’s eternal kingdom.
Catholic Action is dedicated to
restoring an authentic Catholic social order.
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!
On Christmas Eve, Pope Francis opened the
Holy Door of St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican, which officially
launched the Jubilee Year of 2025, with the theme, “Pilgrims of
Hope."
In addition to managing the apostolates
of Cardinal Burke, our Mission at Catholic Action is to provide your
soul with hope by the following initiatives:
-
Operation Storm Heaven, a Global Rosary Crusade,
organized by Catholic Action and led by Cardinal Burke, that seeks to
join one million Catholics praying the Rosary on the 1st of each month
in union with the Holy Mass offered by Cardinal Burke on
that day. Founded in 2007, Catholic Action continues to
march forward as the only organization to
have a Cardinal, a Prince of the Church of
Jesus Christ, offer Holy Mass for your intentions each
month.
-
Special Prayer Events, throughout the
year, we assist faithful Catholics in preparing for special feast days
and solemnities, with worldwide participation. Meditations and
prayers, along with a chance to include your intentions in Holy Masses
produce an answer to prayers that once were deemed
“impossible”.
-
Catholic Action Insight™, a media outreach production and channel dedicated to ushering
in a new era of dialogue and formation, which includes Conversations
with Cardinal Burke, Archbishop Cordileone as well as many notable
personalities.
-
The Faithful Echo Movement, which is directed to
drawing the clergy and the lay faithful in ever closer unity to combat
the darkness of the present confusion, error and division in the
Church. Other events for the Jubilee Year of Hope for Pilgrims are
being planned.
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.
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.
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
