Will you join with the Annunciation Radio family in praying this novena May 14-22, 2012, in anticipation of our Spring Sharathon? Thank you and God bless you for your prayers and support.

Stop the HHS Mandate:
 Next Rally June 8, 2012
Across the country on March 23, over 63,000 people rallied for religious freedom, but the fight is far from over. Our own rally in Toledo attracted about a thousand participants, who gathered to peacefully protest the HHS contraceptive mandate. Hoping to build on that momentum, sponsoring organizations are planning the next rally for June 8, 2012.
Rally captains for various cities are still needed. For more information, please check out http://standupforreligiousfreedom.com/ and watch this space for further updates. Keep praying for our country and its leaders! |
