Update: A ConQuest Poll!

The results of the survey favor having the meeting early at 10:00 AM at the Barn with some time for formation and possibly a brief activity. We will plan to have some pizza delivered for lunch and then head over to Howell for the rally. If you and your son(s) cannot join us at the rally, then please note that the regular portion of our meeting will end at 11:30 AM.

In a recent post I mentioned the Stand Up Rally for Religious Freedom that will take place in downtown Howell at the historic courthouse this Saturday at Noon. It has been suggested that we combine this event with the meeting that we have already planned later this same day. This would require us pulling our meeting ahead several hours.

While the rallies are nationwide and have been planned for some time, the Howell location was added only within the last couple days. We realize that many of you may have already have made other plans. Therefore, we have created a poll to determine whether or not to pull our meeting forward and combine it with the rally.

What is your preference for the meeting this Saturday?

This could be a marvelous opportunity to demonstrate Catholic leadership-in-action to the boys . We as individuals and as a Church are under attack by our own federal government. Our basic freedoms are being trampled upon and our bishops have made it clear that we cannot comply with the government's demands.

STAND UP Rally in Howell this Saturday at noon!

Right To Life - Livingston County is holding another Stand Up Rally for Religious Freedom this Saturday from Noon until 1:00 PM at the historic Howell Courthouse. Over 140 rallies such as this will take place nationwide at the same time.

The first two nationwide rallies were held on March 23 and June 8 with a total of over 300 cities and 125,000 participants.

This is a perfect opportunity for our ConQuest families and friends to make a statement to those in government and in our communities who do not value our rights as individuals to live our Catholic Faith freely. 

For additional information, please contact RTL Livingston County at 810-227-5788.

Rosary for the Bishop

In an earlier post we mentioned the need to follow our true shepherds in the Church. Of course, these are the Pope and the other Bishops in communion with him. In recent years here in Michigan, we have been blessed with some of the most extraordinary Bishops to be found anywhere! Heaven knows that our good Bishops are under fire for standing up for our Catholic Faith nowadays.

 

What can we do about it?

Support them with our prayers!

Rosary for the Bishop is a campaign that aims to support Catholic Bishops through prayer of the Rosary. Please take a few minutes to join in praying for your Bishop (and any others that you wish to include).

The website makes it so simple to find bishops, schedule your rosary, and set up automatic reminders! I have added this to the links section on the right-hand column of the blog.
