Mass To Be Held For Slain US Journalist Foley AAugust 24 2014 ROCHESTER, N.H. James Foley, the U.S. journalist slain by Islamic State militants after being held in captivity for nearly two years, will be remembered Sunday at a Mass of Remembrance in his hometown.
Foley was kidnapped on Thanksgiving Day 2012 while covering the Syrian uprising. The Islamic State posted a Web video Tuesday showing his murder and said it was in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes in northern Iraq.
President Barack Obama has called Foley a hero for telling the stories of oppressed people in war-torn regions like Syria and Libya. The U.S. launched a raid this summer to rescue Foley and other hostages, but special forces were unable to locate the captives.
The Mass at 2 p.m. Sunday is in Foley's hometown church, Our Lady of the Holy Rosary in Rochester.

Yes, all are welcome to attend Mass, but NOT receiving the Eucharist- which Catholics believe is the sacred body and blood of Christ and one must be in “communion” with Church, the mystical Body of Christ to receive the Holy Eucharist. Non-Catholics cannot receive the Eucharist.
They want us to believe this:
“Ayad Madani, chief of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, said in a statement Saturday that the actions of the Islamic State have nothing to do with the values of Islam or his organization’s founding principles of tolerance and co-existence.”
You are perfectly within your rights to say that Biden and Pelosi, both baby-murderers, are renegade, apostate Catholics. You don’t have to be Catholic to call them as they are.
LOL!
Foley Mass Ping!
Thanks very much for that information.
May God forever hold him dear.
Rochester, NH is practically around the corner from Martha’s Vineyard. It is also closer to Washington, DC than is Ferguson, MO. Like maybe half as far?
I actually read a thread on a Facebook page which purports to be for people who think for themselves (leftists, iow) that claims that Foley’s murder was faked.
Maybe Foley’s family asked them NOT to send anyone.
HLN showing Mike Brown funeral tomorrow.
Ugh.
That’s probably the long and short of it.

As far as I know, no one is ever restricted from attending Mass, whether they are permitted to receive Communion or not. Excommunicated people, as well as people involved in any kind of mortal sin, are still free to come and pray, and can even come up and receive a blessing from the priest (while not being permitted to receive the Sacrament.)
Can't say one way or another, I didn't and won't view the video. Don't know why the butcher would't have wanted to show the actual gushing blood.
Good one. You made me laugh out loud!!!
Now that would have been a very ugly sight. lol
I was wondering where a video of it could be seen. Thanks.
