The week begins with the Feast of Sts. John Fisher and St. Thomas More, ends with the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul, and includes the Feast of the Nativity of St John the Baptist.

Through prayer, education and public action during Religious Free-dom Week, the USCCB will promote the importance of preserving the essential right of religious free-dom, for now and the future, for Catholics and for those of all faiths.
