This month’s speaker is Robert Shelledy, J.D., Ph.D. Rob is Director of the Office for the Dignity of the Human Person at the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. He will be addressing the Archdiocese’s observance of the "Fortnight for Freedom" this year. The Fortnight for Freedom is from June 21—the vigil of the Feasts of St. Thomas More and St. John Fisher—to July 4, Independence Day. Dioceses and parishes around the country have scheduled special events that support a great national campaign of teaching and witness for religious liberty. This is a nation-wide effort promoted by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). The theme this year is “Witnesses to Freedom” and will focus on the lives of women and men of faith, from all over the world, who have borne witness to authentic freedom in Christ. See resources available on the Archdiocesan website and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) website.
To highlight the importance of promoting religious liberty, Archbishop Listecki will celebrate a closing Mass on July 4, 2016, at 8:00 a.m., at Christ King Parish, 2604 N. Swan Boulevard, Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, 53226. Everyone is invited to pray for the protection of religious liberty here and abroad.
