Come Hear the Story of Chloe Cole – TH SEPT. 28, 2023 – 6 to 8 PM, Stirling, NJ

You don’t want to miss this event. Dear Friend, Chloe Cole is a leading voice protecting children from dangerous and harmful gender ideology. Why? Because as a “detransitioner”, she has firsthand experience of the serious consequences of transitioning her biological body to match her confused view of gender identity. Now, at 18 years old, she is suing the medical doctors who altered her body, lied to her parents, and did not properly inform her of the risks and irreversible effects of transitioning. She is a victim of this radical agenda. Her voice needs to be heard and magnified.  Chloe has been featured in the Epoch Times, Prager U, FOX News, and many other media outlets. We are thankful that she will be joining us for a fundraiser on Thursday, Sept 28, in support of our Get Out and Vote efforts for this year’s election. This is unlike our major Guardian of the Family Gala in previous years. Our vision for this event, and more to be announced soon, is to give you a closer, more personal encounter with our speakers, and to meet our team at the New Jersey Family Policy Center. Seats are limited. Your ticket purchase will help...

Pope at Audience launches new catechesis series on healing the world – Vatican News

Resuming his weekly general audience after the July recess, Pope Francis says that the Christian virtues of faith, hope and charity enable us to heal the physical, social and spiritual infirmities of our times, such as those revealed by the pandemic. By Robin Gomes In a catechesis live-streamed from the Apostolic Library on Wednesday morning, Pope Francis assures Christians that despite the Covid-19 pandemic continuing to infect and kill people, with many, especially the poor, going through uncertain times because of socio-economic problems, God’s Kingdom of healing and of salvation is present, as Jesus assures us in Luke’s Gospel. Healing through faith, hope and charity This Kingdom of justice and peace, manifested through works of charity, he says, increases and strengthens faith.  Through faith, hope and charity, the Holy Spirit not only heals us but also make us healers.  These virtues “open us to new horizons, even while we are navigating the difficult waters of our time”. A renewed contact with the “Gospel of faith, of hope and of love”, the Pope says, will enable us “to transform the roots of our physical infirmity and the destructive practices that separate us from each other, threatening the human family and...
