Dear Brother Knights,

Are you concerned about our Federal government’s attempts to limit your freedom of conscience and religion? If so, the St. Mary’s Parish Pro-Life Committee invites you to join us to Stand Up for Religious Freedom on Friday, June 8th! The committee will be hosting a rally for religious freedom on the New Haven Green, just across the street from the Richard Lee Federal Courthouse at 141 Church Street in New Haven, Connecticut. The rally will start at 12:00pm and end by 1:00pm. Several speakers will be present, including Father Rousseau of the Hartford Archdiocese.

Please come! Bring your spouses, your neighbors, and your co-workers. If you can bring signs with messages about religious liberty, those would also be immensely appreciated. Lastly, if you would like to speak, or know someone who may be interested in speaking, please contact Garret Girmus asap at: garret.girmus@gmail.com. The fight for our first, most cherished, freedom is far from over! The more we can do to make our voices heard in the public sphere, the better! We hope to see you there!

Vivat Jesus!

Garret Girmus
Co-Chair, St. Mary’s Pro-Life Committee
