The Year in Review: TFP-ANF activities in 2008


With the year 2008 giving us its last breath, it is interesting to look back and see what we have accomplished. 360-some days ago we wondered what the 2008 was to bring: a new president, landmark achievements for both the pro-life and pro-marriage movements in the United States, and whether or not the economy would improve.
Now we know and wonder: 2009, a year of progress for good or evil?
With the help of Mary most holy and her Son, the Divine Infant, the forces of light will over come the dark, keeping in mind that our Lady said "My Immaculate Heart will triumph!"
