Dear Friend,
Greetings on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the
Americas and the Unborn!
During this Advent Season, we remember how dark and confused the
world was before the Divine Infant Jesus was born of the Blessed
Virgin and brought Light to the world! Similarly, our world is once
again mired in darkness and confusion due to sin and the rejection of
this Light.
Even the Catholic Church is suffering from confusion and darkness
as so many Catholics lose their Faith and stray from the path that
leads to Heaven.
There is no shortage of alarming statistics to demonstrate the
repercussions of this confusion. Just a few include:
- 37% of Catholics are considering leaving the Church due to the
sexual abuse scandal.
- 45.3% of US Catholics attend Mass once per month and only 21.1%
attend Mass every week.
- 69% of Catholics do NOT believe in the Real Presence of Christ in
the Eucharist.
- And on and on…
Amid this precipitous decline or incline in key metrics of our
faith, we must have a heightened sense of urgency as there is much
work to do with regard to fighting the good fight of Faith.
For 12 years, Catholic Action for Faith and Family has diligently
battled on the front lines to spread the Hope and Light of Christ amid
the darkness and confusion of our times. We have helped to restore
hope in countless souls and gathered together a spiritual army of
Rosary Warriors across the globe.
Your generous support is crucial!
2019 has been a year of great accomplishments. We have revitalized
our Operation Storm Heaven program by:
- adding a Livestream for all Rosary Warriors to participate in the
Mass and Rosary on the 1st of the month with His Eminence Cardinal
Raymond Burke;
- enlisting 25,000 new Rosary Warriors that brings the spiritual
army of Rosary Warriors to 151,266 worldwide
- Reaching 5,367,347 people with extensive online marketing for
Operation Storm Heaven Rosary Crusade
The generous support of people like you makes this possible!
2019 also saw the launch of our newest initiative, A
Faithful Echo Movement, in response to the terrible crisis in the
Church and in the world. A Faithful Echo Movement is aimed to
unleash the power of Catholic Hope by rallying faithful clergy and
laity together into a united front to defend, promote and exalt the
Truths of the Catholic Faith.
Requisite for A Faithful Echo Movement, His Eminence Cardinal
Raymond Burke stressed the need for both clergy and laity to work for
clarity of thought whereby we all come to better know what the Church
teaches, to better love Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Church, and
to better serve and defend it with all of our being.
Considering the rapid escalation as it relates to the confusion,
error and division mentioned, our agenda for 2020 could very well be
the most important and certainly the most aggressive undertaking since
our founding in 2007. This is why we are asking for an All Hands, All
In effort where together, we all proceed with hope that these efforts
will facilitate a renewed commitment for all laity and clergy to work
together in their respective roles within the Church and mutually
uplift, encourage and inspire one another.
Help us reach more souls
with Hope and Light in 2020
The 2020 Goal:
- Increase the spiritual army of Rosary Warriors by 50,000 as we
strive toward our ultimate milestone goal of 1 million Rosary
Warriors
- Improve the production quality of the Livestream of the Operation
Storm Heaven Mass and Rosary and broaden its reach
internationally
- Hold our first public Storm Heaven Day for all Rosary Warriors,
participating parishes and the public to attend
- Expand reach of Faithful Echo Conferences for priests and
laity
- Publish Tu es Sacerdos in aeternum (You are a Priest
Forever), a book by Cardinal Raymond Burke to reignite the pursuit of
holiness and sacredness within the priesthood as part of the Faithful
Echo Movement. Distribute this book to the 55,000+ clergy in the US
and Canada
- To promote support and cooperation with faithful clergy to uphold
the teachings of the Church through extensive online marketing and
outreach program. Initial goal is to reach 1 million Catholics.
- Usher in a new era of cooperation and formation beginning with our
Canon 915 campaign to reach the more than 55,000 priests in the United
States to remind them of their charitable duty to refuse Holy
Communions to public figures, such as politicians and judges, who
openly support and promote abortion and homosexuality
- Through Canon 915 campaign and extensive online marketing to
remind all Catholics that supporting pro-abortion and
pro-homosexuality candidates is a violation of the Moral Law and is a
mortal sin (Issue-specific pledges will be disseminated broadly for
clergy and laity to be able to pledge to be Faithful Echoes)
The 2020 Challenge: Engage and activate faithful
laity to support 55,000 priests by giving them the resources and
encouraging them to stand up for Christ and charitably withhold the
Holy Eucharist from politicians and other public figures who claim to
be Catholic yet publicly promote abortion and homosexuality
