DEFENDING OUR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM: The Diocese of Norwich is using all of its local resources to overturn the federal health care mandate, which violates our religious liberty.

Now it is time that we join other dioceses across the United States in observance of the Fortnight for Freedom taking place from June 21 through July 4. During this time, we ask that you pray independently or organize prayer groups, special devotions, and catechetical sessions as part of this national initiative. If you haven’t already, please contact the offices of your Congressional Representatives and United States Senators to express your opposition to the federal healthcare mandate.
