This movement is essentially a call to prayer, penance, and sacrifice to renew a culture of life, marriage, and religious liberty in our country. All of the Catholic faithful throughout the entire country are encouraged to participate during this Year of Faith.

Two personal devotions Catholics are invited to include this year are the daily praying of the Holy Rosary, as well as fasting and abstinence from meat on all Fridays.
In addition, each First Friday, a special Holy Hour for Life, Liberty, and Religious Liberty will be held at 7:30pm in Church, with Exposition of the Most Blessed Sacrament.
Please find out more at the USCCB website.
