Religious freedom remains one of America's most precious possessions. And, as my brothers, the United States Bishops, have reminded us, all are called to be vigilant, precisely as good citizens, to preserve and defend that freedom from everything that would threaten or compromise it. - Pope Francis
The Fortnight for Freedom is a campaign initiated by the Roman Catholic bishops of the United States. Events over the course of fourteen days from June 22 to July 4 each year, call upon Catholics to participate in a pledge to religious liberty and an appeal for the inclusion of a "conscience clause" for religious institutions and religious faithful to practice according to the moral tenets of one's religious faith.
Daily Prayer Intentions
Each day of the Fortnight for Freedom is dedicated to praying for a particular aspect of religious liberty.
July 1: Freedom to serve the vulnerable
July 2: Freedom to build stronger communities
July 3: For our brothers and sisters in Mexico
July 4: Freedom to promote a culture of freedom for all
“When we practice or faith, it’s always good for the society”
