February 11th, 2026, Our Lady of Lourdes
By Catholics for Catholics
We have been busy putting together the “2026 Catholic Prayer for America Gala”and we are thrilled to hear from so many of you that are excited about this amazing event bringing Catholic patriots together to pray in the heart of the nation, Washington, D.C.
In thinking about this, we realized: how could we be together as Catholics in prayer without the very people who act in persona Christi and bring us the sacraments? You really can’t understand the Catholic Church without the ministerial element of the Body of Christ. Our priests are frontline warriors who do so much good for us; they are courageous in going head-to-head with Satan on our behalf, and they bravely defend and minister to the Church Militant.
To that end, Catholics for Catholics is offering 50 free tickets to priests who would like to attend. We receive many requests from the clergy, and we want to make this possible! We are absolutely honored to have so many patriotic priests who love America and we want them there at this historic event in which we will celebrate 250 years of Catholic patriotism in America.
Just as those first priests who accompanied our nation’s revolutionaries, like Archbishop John Carroll who supported the cause for freedom and defended the Church – 250 years later, we want to stand in D.C. with priests at our side.
It took the blood, sweat, and tears of thousands of patriots for us to stand here 250 years later to proudly reaffirm our love for America and our faith in Christ, and we want as many priests as possible to help us pray both in thanksgiving for what God has bestowed on us, but also for the future of our great nation.
HERE IS HOW YOU CAN HELP:
1. INVITE A PRIEST:
If you know a priest that would like to be sponsored to attend this historic event, please send this link to them so they can fill out this form!
2. HELP US SUPPORT THE PRIESTS: Our goal this year is to bring 50 priests to our Catholic Prayer for America Gala in Washington, D.C. gala — but we can only do it with your help!
Whether you can give $25, $50, $100, or more, Catholics for Catholics will match your donation dollar for dollar.
Your generosity — doubled — will help us reach our goal of bringing 50 priests to our gala at no cost to them! Together, we can ensure that our priests, who are frontline warriors, are present, supported, and strengthened for the mission ahead.
Today, on the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, we entrust the fruits of this event to the Blessed Mother!
We humbly ask Our Lady and St. Bernadette for her powerful intercession, and we ask for your continued prayers for protection as we know the serpent is furiously working against us – but it will be crushed by the feet of Our Lady!
God bless and Fight On!
