Independence Day, July 4, marks the end of the 2015 commemoration and remembrance of religious freedom in the United States along with current threats to religious freedom. Please note a summary of those threats at this link.
Also, as the Fortnight for Religious Freedom, is intended to be shared in your local diocese, please examine your local diocesan website for more information about events being sponsored in the coming week. (Note examples of events sponsored this week by the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend.)
There are several resources on the USCCB website with information about this occasion. For one, note quotes by Pope Francis on religious freedom.
Make sure also to follow the call to prayer for all issues around religious liberty at this Facebook page.
