Traditional Marriage Tour Rolls into New Hampshire

By John Ritchie   
March 24, 2011
Today we reached New Hampshire, the Granite State. In considerably cooler weather, we campaigned for traditional marriage in Nashua, near City Hall.The response was positive for the most part, with constant honking. It was good to meet local friends who came out to the intersection to support the effort. God bless them. Three police cars arrived. For some unknown reason, they decided that our rally was blocking the sidewalk, interfering with pedestrian traffic, although the sidewalks were empty. "You need a permit to do this," they insisted. "If you don't leave, we'll write you up for disorderly conduct," the officer said. It was already nearing lunch time, so we moved on. A woman pulled up to the curb where TFP member Mr. Gregory Escaro stood: "Be careful, I might run you over," she said. Another disagreeable thing happened. As we got into our van, a car pulled up beside us. The woman inside the vehicle spat on our windows and doors, and then sped away. We visited a car wash and cleaned if off. Snow fell intermittently during the afternoon. Its beauty added a new note of challenge, enhancing the campaign. The honking for traditional marriage kept up at a good rate for the duration of the rally. Thank you for your prayers. We need them as we press forward to defend God-ordained marriage in New Hampshire. Saint Joseph, patron of our tour, pray for us!Related: Pro-Homosexuals at Brown University Respond with Violence VIDEO: Pro-Homosexuals Attempt to Rip TFP Sign in Newport VIDEO: Voice of the Unborn in Boston VIDEO: Victory for God’s Marriage in Maryland Help us stay on the road To help us stay on the road for traditional marriage, please consider filling our gas tank.  With an intense travel schedule, our fifteen passenger van consumes about one tank of gasoline per day.  Your gift of $79.00 will keep us going for 330 miles.

My dear brothers in Christ,
The good fight has begun for you. You are facing opposition from those who would prefer not to know the truth. As the apostles were joyful for being worthy of persecution for "The sake of the name" of Jesus, so you are under persecution for your commitment to bringing the truth to light. There is no victory without a fight but the GOOD NEWS is that Christ has already guaranteed the VICTORY.

Parva sub Ingenti! Regina Caeli ora pro nobis.

Pax Christi,

Fr. Bob Garon

My brothers in Christ,
The battle is only beginning for you. There are those who wish not to know the truth and as a result will do anything they can to persecute those who are defenders of the truth. The apostles were persecuted in the Acts of the apostles for preaching Jesus but as Gamaliel the leading Rabbi at the time had stated to the Jewish leaders, "If this is of God then you are only fighting against God." the apostles rejoiced that they were found "worthy of persecution for the sake of the name." You are being persecuted for the truth that Jesus proclaimed. The Good News is that Jesus has already guaranteed the VICTORY.
Parva sub Ingenti! Regina Caeli ora pro nobis.

PAx Christi,

Fr. Bob Garon

My admiration and respect for your moral courage that should be reflected on all of we Catholic (and Christian) believers is as large as it could be. As a 39 year "veteran" activist on the LIFE ISSUES, AND NOW THE HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA ISSUES, I appreciate what you are doing. God bless you.
