Catholic Bishops to Speak at Various National Rally Sites at 12 Noon, March 23rd

Archdiocese of Detroit’s Bishop Michael Byrnes Among First 3 to Confirm Active Participation

The 12 noon, March 23rd Nationwide Rally for Religious Freedom was called in response to the Catholic Bishops’ call for the laity to stand up against President Obama’s nefarious HHS Mandate.

Laity of all faiths (not just Catholics) have heeded their call and now over 60 cities are confirmed for this nationwide effort. Three bishops have signed on so far: Washington DC auxiliary Bishop Barry Knestout is confirmed for the Germantown, Maryland rally, Bishop Michael Byrnes will attend in Detroit and Bishop Cirilo Flores will attend in San Diego.

With all 181 US Catholic bishops vocally opposing the HHS Mandate — including a strong new statement from New York’s Timothy Cardinal Dolan — we hope to see more and more of religious leaders of all faiths joining the Stand Up Rally on March 23 at 12 noon.
