Intrinsic to our faith as Catholics, Mary is always with us in spirit, and we grow to understand, appreciate, and admire her nurturing presence far more deeply during difficult times. Please join my loved ones and I in praying for Mary’s intercession and supporting a cause close to our hearts: the Christian Refugee Relief Fund, a campaign to end genocide against Christians and other minority groups including Yazidis in Iraq, Syria, and the surrounding Middle East and North Africa region. The Fund directs 100% donations to benefit these vulnerable humans through medical clinics, food programs, and the rebuilding of homes for families displaced by ISIS.

Our brothers and sisters are being tortured and exterminated for attempting to exercise religious freedom that we, as Americans, take for granted every day. Let us speak out for the rights of all who are vulnerable and express solidarity through our faith in action.
