Dear Fathers:

I am slowly learning about the various events in Yakima, Kennewick, and Wenatchee that have been taking place in conjunction with the USCCB's "Fortnight for Freedom."  Yakima is doing a morning outdoor rosary with signs on Tieton Drive inviting others to participate.  Holy Spirit, Kennewick is incorporating the prayers and petitions into its Sunday liturgies.  St. Joseph in Kennewick held a "Fortnight for Freedom" rally.   St. Joseph in Wenatchee held an interfaith gathering tied to "Fortnight for Freedom."  I am sure other events are going on that I don't know about.  My first response to all of you is a big THANK YOU.  My second response is this:  Can you to send us pictures?  Do you have digital images of these events that you've taken with your cell phone?  Are any of you recording any of these events for YouTube?  Send us your links!  We'd love to see what you are doing and so would your fellow Christians across the Diocese of Yakima!  

Also note that this week we have some NEW links for your consideration during our "Fortnight for Freedom" campaign.
