On October 16, I brought the pilgrim icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa to my home parish of St. Thomas More in Fairfield, New Jersey. Fr. James Manos, the Pastor, was raised in the Greek Orthodox faith before entering the Catholic Church as an adult, so he has a great understanding and appreciation of icons. He also speaks out consistently in defense of life, and has been very supportive of me and the work of Human Life International.

I’ve had lots of memorable experiences during the peregrination of the pilgrim icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa, but one of the most unusual was the motorcycle escort we received from St. Joseph’s Church in Middletown, New York to an abortion facility in Hackensack, New Jersey by the Husaria Polish Motorcycle Club. Husaria is named after the Polish Hussars who fought to relieve the City of Vienna from attack by the Ottoman Turks at the Battle of Vienna on September 12, 1683.
