Bishops' urgent request

Urgent alert!            View In Browser October 9, 2012 Urgent alert! Archbishop William Lori has written The Cardinal Newman Society, urging your help. Please, I ask you to respond immediately and show how much you appreciate the bishops' defense of our religious freedoms! Archbishop Lori is chairman of the U.S. bishops' Committee for Religious Liberty. He asks two things: 1. Every Cardinal Newman Society member should be registered for the bishops' text alerts on religious liberty. Sign up by texting "Freedom" (or "Libertad" for Spanish) to 377377. 2. Can you get to Washington, D.C., this coming Sunday, October 14? The faithful will gather at Noon for a special Mass and Pilgrimage for Life and Liberty. This will be a very important celebration of unity around the Eucharist. And also: please pray for Archbishop Lori and his fellow bishops; pray for our nation; pray for The Cardinal Newman Society. The Church must preserve the freedom to maintain faithful Catholic schools and colleges. I know that you will do what you can to defend them! Sincerely, Patrick J. Reilly President P.S. Our hard work to promote and defend faithful Catholic education depends on your prayers and donations. (Click here to make a gift.) Thank you, and may God bless you!
