Second Rally in Richland, WA

Much more difficult to do this rally due to finding out pastors not supporting this with allowing bulletin announcements. They implied that the bishops are not approving or disapproving this rally.
However, 166 did show up in spite of negativity.
While singing America the Beautiful we had a miraculous blue, white and red stripe form in the sky. It was there for a goodly time and then a light sprinkle of rain and then it went away.
God was happy with our Standup Rally. Thank you for all the signs and banners and pins. They were wonderful.
We were blessed by a 97 year old priest, Msg Desmond Dillon who wrote the material we used for the speeches for the Rally. He was present and very supportive. We are grateful for his presence there.
God smiled on your rally with a miraculous message in the sky. Wow – that is awesome!
Here, in Spokane, we have the same problem with our Bishop telling priests not to announce, advertise, or attend the rally. It certainly affected the turn-out. But our rally was very positive, with passers-by waving or honking or giving us a thumbs-up. Though most just looked confused. 😉 But no negativity in any of the responses. Thanks be to God!
