Fortnight for Freedom INFO
The fourteen days from June
21—the vigil of the Feasts of St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More—to
July 4, Independence Day, are dedicated to this “fortnight for
freedom”—a great hymn of prayer for our country. Our liturgical calendar
celebrates a series of great martyrs who remained faithful in the face
of persecution by political power—St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More,
St. John the Baptist, SS. Peter a
nd Paul, and the First Martyrs of the
Church of Rome. Culminating on Independence Day, this special period of
prayer,
study,
catechesis, and
public action will emphasize both our
Christian and American heritage of liberty.
Dioceses and parishes around
the country have scheduled special events that support a great national campaign of teaching and witness for
religious liberty.
