The U.S. Bishops have called for a “Fortnight for Freedom,” a nationwide 14-day period of prayer, education and action in support of religious freedom, from June 21 to July 4.
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, Sts. Peter and Paul, and the First Martyrs of the Church of Rome. Culminating on Independence Day, this special period of prayer, study, catechesis, and public action emphasizes both our Christian and American heritage of liberty.
Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted invites the public to pray for religious freedom at the following Masses:
Saturday, June 22 – Feast of St. Thomas More and St. John Fisher

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month
Across the United States, one in four girls and one in six boys experience sexual abuse before turning 18, and the median age of child abuse is age 9. Ninety percent of children know their abuser.
The Diocese of Phoenix is joining with Phoenix Children’s Hospital to help prevent child abuse as a part of the Innocence Revolution.
Phoenix Children’s Hospital is hosting a table at the Diamondback’s game on April 14 — “Innocence Revolution – A Global Day to End Child Sexual Abuse.” They will have activities for kids, resources for parents, and giveaways.

Red Mass to kick off legislative session will feature N.Y. bishop
Lawyers, elected officials, canonists and judges will gather at 5:30 p.m. tonight at St. Mary’s Basilica to take part in the annual Red Mass, sponsored by the St. Thomas More Society and the Diocese of Phoenix.
“It’s important for Catholic lawyers in particular to attend events like the Red Mass to really focus on their faith and be Catholics in the public square, as Bishop Olmsted would say, because it’s important to live their faith in whatever they’re doing,” Ron Johnson, executive director of the Arizona Catholic Conference, said.
“The Red Mass is certainly a great opportunity for all lawyers — not just Catholic lawyers — as well as elected officials and judges to really focus on how they can fulfill their vocations as lawyers and lay people to the fullest potential.”
This year’s homilist will be Bishop William F. Murphy of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, NY. Bishop Murphy served in Rome for 13 years in various capacities. He was named vicar general and moderator of the Curia for the Archdiocese of Boston in 1993.
From noon to 1 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 22, join the Arizona Life Coalition and pro-life supporters for a rally marking the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court Case decision that has permitted the taking of more than 50 million lives:
United States District Court Building
401 West Washington Street, Phoenix
Don’t miss these other pro-life events:
- Jan. 19: Youth and Young Adult ASU Rally, 7-10 p.m., at the Memorial Union.
- Jan. 20: Annual Mass for the Unborn, 11 a.m. at St. Francis Xavier Parish.

Mr. Weigel will take us on an adventure to explore Blessed John Paul II as a radically converted Christian disciple, a man whose literary and philosophical work, priestly and Episcopal work, and papal accomplishment all flowed from a thorough conversion to Christ and an intense personal friendship with Him.
He will continue to share with us how the pontificate of Blessed John Paul II marked a “hinge” on which the Church completed its turn from the Church of the Counter-Reformation (formed in the 16th century) to the Church of the New Evangelization. He will then link all of this to the Great Jubilee of 2000 and the apostolic letter Novo Millennio Ineunte, which charged the entire Church to go out “into the deep” of post-modernity to convert the world.
A catered dessert and coffee reception will follow. Please invite family and friends from near and far to join you for this exceptional event.
Youth and Young Adult Rally for Life and Eucharistic Procession
The evening begins at ASU Memorial Union with music by Chris Muglia. Guest speaker Thomas Peters, influential blogger at CatholicVote.org, will discuss how social media can be used to promote pro-life issues. Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted will lead a Eucharistic Procession from the Memorial Union to the Old Church at the Newman Center, where the Blessed Sacrament will exposed until 6 a.m.
