We just completed the second Catholic Champion Crusade of our Fall 2026 campaign!
Our first Crusade took place at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on October 15 with Jesse Romero, followed by our second event this past Tuesday at the University of Michigan with Tim Gordon.
The heart of these Crusades has been to go to major centers of culture in our nation – college campuses – and engage young people in discussions about politics and the true religion, Catholicism.
The response to these events has been incredibly powerful! Beyond reaching dozens of students in person, we’re also reaching hundreds of thousands online! Across social media, we’ve reached more than 1,000,000 VIEWS on videos and other content highlighting some of our most impactful interactions with students.

A couple of moments, in particular, struck me…
One young man, who described himself as agnostic, approached Jesse and me and asked how God could be a God of love if He allows some people to spend eternity in hell. We spoke with him for a while, and at the end of our conversation, we gave him a Rosary. You can actually watch our full response to his question here. We also encouraged him to continue seeking the truth, so that one day he may discover that Christ truly loves him and has a plan for his life.
Another young woman eagerly approached us and shared that she had just converted to the Catholic faith last April. She had been walking across campus praying the Rosary when she arrived at the main square where we were stationed and saw our statue of Mary. For her, it was a confirmation that Our Lady was truly with her as she prayed the Rosary. We had a wonderful conversation with her, and one of the best moments was discovering that she already knew about Our Lady of Champion in Wisconsin! Watch here.
That was amazing to hear because the whole purpose of these Crusades is to fulfill what Our Lady asked us to do: “Gather the children in this wild country and teach them what they should know for salvation…”
This is precisely what Catholics for Catholics is doing.
We are building a new Catholic movement in America, and we’re bringing it directly to university campuses. These young people are the future of our country. As they become the leaders of tomorrow, it is crucial that they remain firmly grounded in the Catholic Faith. THIS is one of the most powerful ways to fight back against the tsunami of evil hitting us from all sides.
Next month, we will be hosting more Crusades followed by our Spring 2027 Campaign! More details coming soon! Stay tuned.
Please know that we always conclude these Crusades with a public Rosary led by a priest, because it is only through the power of prayer that we can save our country and our families.
Thank you for your prayers and support.
God Bless You and Fight On,
John Yep
President, Catholics for Catholics
