Rosary Rally for Religious Freedom and Preservation of Catholic Healthcare @ Good Samaritan Hospital

Join with fellow Catholics from many Long Island parishes in prayerful petition to the Queen of the Most Holy Rosary!

Come together to lift our voices in public prayer and witness for Intercession and Inspiration to Preserve 1st Amendment Freedom of Religion and Catholic Healthcare for Americans of All Faiths.

The mandate from Health and Human Services calls for fines on Catholic hospitals, and other religious institutions, of $100 per day per employee, as of January 1, 2014, if they do not comply with new mandates for health insurance coverage of products and services that directly violate Catholic teachings.  The threat to 1st amendment freedom of religion and conscience is critical and imminent.
