Spiritual Battle in New Orleans: Rosary Rally Planned to Prayerfully Combat Pro-Abortion Fundraiser

This coming Saturday (June 22, 2019) in the historic city of New Orleans, Louisiana, Catholic radio broadcaster and friend of Catholic Family News Mike Church, together with the Louisiana-based Confraternity CRUSADER Knights of the Most Holy Rosary, will lead a procession and Rosary rally as a peaceful and prayer means of opposing a Planned Parenthood fundraiser scheduled to take place the same day.

According to the official press release for the Rosary Rally (see below), participants will “meet at Saint Patrick’s Catholic Church [see here for church website] PUBLIC parking lot” on June 22 at 3:00 PM Central Time, “organize and then process with Our Lady of Prompt Succor to a TBD site as peacefully near the UNjust Cause site (1150 Magazine Street) and pray all 3″ traditional sets of Mysteries of the Holy Rosary (Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious), followed by the Litanies of St. Patrick and St. Michael and other prayers in honor of Our Lady.

CFN encourages all Catholics in or near the New Orleans area to participate in this important event. And for those who cannot attend in person, let us all join our prayers and sacrifices to those of the faithful who participate in the Rosary Rally on Saturday. May Our Lady cover us all, and especially the faithful in New Orleans, under her mantle of protection and obtain the conversion of those who promote or defend in any way the abomination of abortion!

NOLA CRUSADER Knight Rosary Rally For Life

Mandeville, LA, June 13, 2019 – Radio talk show host and Founder of The Veritas Radio Network’s CRUSADE Channel, Mike “The KingDude” Church, is leading a Rosary rally and response to the “UNjust Cause, A Boozy Bake Sale” [see here]. This event was organized to raise funds for Gulf Coast Planned Parenthood and give infanticide defenders the chance to make a statement about the “right” to kill your soon-to-be-born child. The Louisiana-based Confraternity CRUSADER Knights of the Most Holy Rosary will lead the Rosary!

According to Pro Life Louisiana [aka Louisiana Right to Life]

More than 50 New Orleans area chefs, bartenders, restaurant and bar owners, and others (and their businesses!) are publicly raising funds to promote abortion in our city, and we need to let them know we DO NOT SUPPORT their actions! See the event’s Facebook page. […]

They say 100 percent of the profits go to Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast and the New Orleans Abortion Fund.

Here’s what Megan Forman told Nola.com: “For me, I just see an erosion of rights in general. When people’s rights are endangered, it’s a cause for alarm. It’s scary when you might alienate customers, but I feel so strongly about this.”

Obviously, the baby’s rights are not important to Forman and the others participating.  It is a sad day in our city when some of our world-class restaurants raise funds to help end the lives of living unborn babies. We want to protect future foodies, not abortion businesses. […]

Contact these restaurants today and tell them that they have lost your business. [Source]

We will meet at Saint Patrick’s Catholic Church PUBLIC parking lot [Saturday, June 22, 2019 at 3:00 PM Central Time], organize and then process with Our Lady of Prompt Succor to a TBD site as peacefully near the UNjust Cause site (1150 Magazine Street) [New Orleans, LA] and pray all 3 of the Holy Rosary’s [set of] Mysteries, the Litany of Saint Patrick, Saint Michael and will implore the heroine of the Battle of New Orleans of 1815, Our Lady of Prompt Succor, to soften the hearts and move wills to action to stop those sponsoring and donating resources to be used in the killing of Louisiana and, indeed, the Gulf South’s next generation. Remember Our Lady of Prompt Succor, New Orleans:

Scarcely twelve inches high, the little plastered statue was destined for disposal when Sister Felicite found it in her convent attic in France in 1785. Pained to see this image of Our Lady so carelessly cast aside, Sr. Felicite fell to her knees and prayed: “My good Mother, if you will take away promptly the obstacles that stand in the way of our departure, I will carry you to New Orleans, and I promise to have you honored there by every means in my power.” Within in month her petition was granted and “Sweetheart” accompanied Sr. Felicite to the Ursuline Convent in New Orleans. It was through the intercession of Our Lady of Prompt Succor that the city of New Orleans was spared when a devastating fire threatened the French Quarter and Ursuline Convent.

Anyone wishing to participate is strongly encouraged to and defend our beloved city and state against this diabolical “counter-offensive” of the Prince of this world against our people, our legislature and our Governor, John Bel Edwards’, democratic will: Louisiana is a Pro-Life sanctuary because…

“ya momma was preaux life, dawlin”.
