Non-Catholic Pastor Jailed For Tending His Flock
Big government crackdowns on churches impact all who put God first. This Canadian pastor, although not a Catholic, sure could use some prayer and support as he pushes back against the unfair restrictions churches face.
Big retailers can go about business but churches in Canada must restrict attendance to 15%. Unacceptable.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for pastor Coate and his family and congregation, now and at the hour of their deaths, Amen!

8/20: Americas Update (NEW FORMAT)
Author/Editor Note: You will notice a change in format going forward. Very often, I can’t keep up with creating even short posts for each individual news story. The original vision was to offer up every post as a separate petition during a Rosary – and I still will when time allows.
When it doesn’t, I will provide summary updates for different global regions and hot spots as news is collected. The intent is the same however, please use the people, parishes and communities highlighted as petitions on your Rosary beads. Thank you and God Bless! Here we go:
