FORTNIGHT FOR FREEDOM - June 21 - July 14, 2015


As in years past, the USCCB has declared a Fortnight for Freedom this year in order to celebrate and proclaim the importance of religious freedom in the practice of our Catholic faith here in the United States.  The theme of this year's Fortnight for Freedom will focus on the freedom to bear witness to the truth of the Gospel.  The fortnight will take place from the vigil of June 21 to July 4, 2015.  During these days, our our liturgical calendar celebrates a series of great martyrs who remained faithful in the face of persecution by political power—St. Thomas More and St. John Fisher, St. John the Baptist, St Peter and St Paul, and the First Martyrs of the Church of Rome. I will have posts about the Fortnight for Freedom on my blog focusing on the Fortnight for Freedom.
