Diocese Dedicates Youth Rally to the Memory of Lilly Furphy

 

Lilly FurphyAfter a long battle with cancer, the Diocese of Las Cruces and St. Eleanor Parish in Ruidoso, New Mexico, lost Mrs. Lilly Furphy. Lilly had long been associated with the diocese as a parish director of religious education and a strong supporter of youth ministry at her home parish. In addition, Lilly was instrumental in helping with the annual diocesan Youth Rally, initiating several valuable components of that yearly gathering, including the Praise Band. The musical backdrop created by the Praise Band set the tone for the Youth Rally in recent years, and continues to offer a spiritual ambience enjoyed by its youthful participants.

 

This year’s Youth Rally (June7-9) was dedicated to the memory of Lilly Furphy in a touching ceremony calling to mind the many contributions of time and talent directly linked to her association with the annual gathering.

 

Please view the video clip above of the short dedication ceremony that took place as part of the Youth Rally on June 8.

Protect Conscience Rights and Religious Liberty: Urge Congressional Support for H.R. 940

 

Dear Friend:

 

The Obama Administration's contraceptive / abortifacient / sterilization mandate will begin to be enforced against nonprofit religious schools, charities and health care providers on August 1. In the days to come, Congress must decide whether to address this problem through must-pass legislation before that deadline.

 

Members of the House should be urged to include the Health Care Conscience Rights Act (H.R. 940) in the next bill needed to keep the federal government operating.

 

Materials on the need for better conscience protection are available at www.usccb.org/conscience. 

 

Resources include new fact sheets and four "voices of conscience" -- video testimonies of women who spoke at the House of Representatives press conference last month about the need to enact H.R. 940.

 

Please act today to protect conscience rights and religious liberty!

 

Recommended Actions:

 

• Send an e-mail to your Representative through the USCCB's Action Center.

• Call your Representative. Contact the U.S. Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121, or call your Representative's local office.

Additional info may be found on Representatives' web sites at www.house.gov.

• Learn even more on this printer-friendly version of the alert.

 

Suggested Message: "Please include the Health Care Conscience Rights Act (H.R. 940) in upcoming 'must-pass' legislation. Government must not force Americans to violate their religious and moral beliefs on respect for life when they provide health care or purchase health coverage."

 

Thank you!

 

P.S. Please forward this action alert to friends and family who share your concern about conscience rights and religious liberty.
