Dear Friend,

I’m writing to thank you for your continued support of Catholic Action for Faith and Family and to let you know that Sunday, February 1 will be the LAST day to support our 2026 Annual Fund.

I’m asking for your financial support for our new initiatives that include a special “Bring Back the Bells” Project.

Every donation also makes a difference in helping us to advance our mission and to reach our goal of having One Million Rosary Warriors from around the world praying the Holy Rosary on the first of each month with Cardinal Burke. The Holy Rosary is a powerful defense against the worldly threats that are attacking not only our Catholic Faith but also society’s most vital institution, the family. Our Shepherd, Cardinal Burke is always encouraging everyone to pray the Holy Rosary. He has reminded us, remembering that, as Pope John Paul II once wrote, “The Rosary is by its nature a prayer for peace”. 

God is building a family of families! Therefore, won't you join Catholic Action for Faith and Family as we place faith and family at the center of our mission and set 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.

For 2026, I am particularly excited about our plans to advance our mission in such a way we make a concrete impact in each of our target program areas. 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 ensuring our activities and resources reach everyone feeling discouraged and isolated in their spiritual struggles so we can band together with irresistible fervor and 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:

1. 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. [Stay-tuned for a special Operation Storm Heaven Campaign dedicated to all of our faithfully departed.] 
2. 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”. 
3. 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.
4. 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 ...

... In light of Catholic Action’s mission to uphold and reinvigorate traditions in the church, Our Faithful Echo vision for 2026 is to organize programs to teach about the importance of the use of bells in the Liturgical life of the church. There are many aspects and important values regarding bells that are unknown to most in the Church today. Blessed bells are exorcistic and inspire the faithful to practice their faith in a more meaningful way. Reviving the understanding of the use of bells in the liturgy and life of the church is an aspect of catechesis that is so necessary in today’s modern world. 

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 God reward you for your support. 

Yours in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,

Thomas J. McKenna
