KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann is asking you to join him in the Kansas Rosary Crusade to pray for the passage of the “Value Them Both” amendment on Aug. 2.
“I urge every member of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas to join the Kansas Rosary Crusade by praying the rosary every Thursday for the passage of the state constitutional amendment, making it crystal clear there is no ‘right to abortion’ in the Kansas Constitution,” said Archbishop Naumann.
“This amendment will restore to all Kansans their right through their elected representatives to determine abortion public policy in our state,” he added.
The other bishops of Kansas, too, are asking Catholics in their dioceses to join the Kansas Rosary Crusade.
A five-decade rosary specific to the crusade has been written and can be used if desired, or the regularly used luminous mysteries on Thursdays, so long as the intention is kept in mind. Catholics can pray as individuals, families, groups or parishes.
