USCCB
The Fortnight for Freedom: Freedom to Serve will take place from June 21 to July 4, 2014, a time when our liturgical calendar celebrates a series of great martyrs who remained faithful in the face of persecution by political power—St. Thomas More and St. John Fisher, St. John the Baptist, SS. Peter and Paul, and the First Martyrs of the Church of Rome. The theme of this year's Fortnight will focus on the freedom to serve the poor and vulnerable in accord with human dignity and the Church's teaching.
Bishop David Malloy will celebrate a special Mass for the Fortnight for Freedom on July 4 at 9 a.m. at St. Thomas the Apostle Church in Crystal Lake.
Remember to pray for religious Freedom during your Independence day celebrations.
