Dear Friend,

On the 1st of September, in 3 days, on the same day as our Operation Storm Heaven Mass and Rosary with Cardinal Raymond Burke, something extraordinary will happen…

…but it will only happen if we do it together!

This year is the 250th anniversary of the historic founding of the Catholic Missions in California. In the 1700s, Saint Junípero Serra and other missionaries sacrificed everything, left everything to head north to spread the True Faith throughout what is now California and bring souls to the path that leads to Heaven.

And Catholic Action for Faith and Family is rallying a Faith-Action initiative to commemorate this anniversary and pray for the future of California and our Nation!

In our day and age, the missionary zeal filled with a passionate love of God and ardent love of souls is sorely lacking. That zeal that would go to great lengths and endure great sacrifice to aid other souls to attain eternal salvation needs to be re-enkindled.

Our secular and materialistic culture no longer believes in the immortal soul or the spiritual nature of each person. And the diabolical culture of ‘automatic salvation’ makes sure that we no longer are concerned with the salvation of souls or making any effort to help people get to Heaven.

This does not change reality!

Each of us has an immortal soul and each of us must make an effort to save our own soul and the soul of others. It was for this reason that Our Divine Lord and Savior Jesus Christ came to this earth, suffered His Passion and died on the Cross.

He did NOT do it for money! He did NOT do it for fame! He did NOT do it for Himself!

Our Divine Savior did it out of love for YOU! Out of Love for Me! And out of love for every single soul!

Saints and martyrs throughout History burned with Love of God and love of souls…and driven by this Love, they took incredible steps to save souls!

Now is the time to reignite that missionary zeal and that love of souls! And what better way than to retrace the steps of a great saint who endured immense sacrifice and hardship to save souls.

Help a Pilgrim & a Mission! <[link removed]>

Beginning on the 1st of September, I will engage in a pilgrimage with my colleagues including James Aitchison, who spearheaded this initiative, accompanied by the miraculous International Pilgrim Virgin statue of Our Lady of Fatima, The World Apostolate of Fatima (Blue Army), the Knights of Columbus, and many other Catholic organizations to follow in the holy footsteps of these valiant missionaries.

For almost 40 years, I have had the privilege of escorting the International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima around the world. I am so happy to be reunited with her for this important pilgrimage!



We will visit 21 missions in 21 days beseeching Our Lord Jesus Christ, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Junípero Serra to shower our state, our nation and the world with graces of conversion and missionary zeal. To re-enkindle the passionate desire to save souls and to bring those who are lost back to the True Faith!

Your help is crucial! Please donate now! <[link removed]>



I know that you are probably not able to drop everything in your life, your work, and your family for 21 days! But I would like to do this for you, for your family, for your loved ones, for the Church and for our nation!

So, I boldly ask for your help! I need to buy many tanks of gas, many days-worth of meals and accommodation for the pilgrims. I also need your help to pay for the thousands of prayer cards and pictures of Our Lady that we will distribute at each mission and along the way!

Any amount that you can contribute will show your love for souls and your desire to walk in the footsteps of the missionaries of old!

Whether you can give $5, $25, $50, $100 or even $500, it will be a great help toward accomplishing this pilgrimage to re-enkindle missionary zeal as we pray at 21 missions in 21 days.

If you are not able to donate at this point in time, do not worry at all! Please keep us in your prayers and I promise to pray for you and for your loved ones!

As part of our public manifestation of Faith, we will also be hosting a public rally on the steps of the California State Building in Sacramento to publicly show our zeal and to affirm that it is time for true Catholics to step into the public square to save souls and to proclaim the rights of God!

Each and every day, I will be praying for you and your loved ones at the feet of the Fatima Statue. I will also send you an update of the pilgrimage for you to share with your family and friends.

Along the way, there will also be opportunities for you to present your special intentions and prayers at a each mission.

But I can’t do any of this without you! So click here to donate….
