Help keep healthy, unvaccinated children in New Jersey's Catholic Schools.
parents seek to educate misinformed clergy so they can model and share Catholic values
From Innovative Parenting:
It has come to our attention that the Newark Archdiocese is beginning to dismiss students who had been previously exempted, abruptly severing them from their communities. This troubling move appears to be at odds with the Newark Archdiocese's stated dedication to inclusivity, which encompasses diversity in ethnicity, race, income, and gender identities, but seemingly excludes vaccine status.
Here's how you can assist:
Share Your Personal Story: Let us know about your experience with Catholic schools and why the religious exemption matters to you. Personal messages can make a significant impact! Email your stories to newarkcatholicfamilies@yahoo.com (to be snail mailed directly to Cardinal Tobin) or send them directly to Cardinal Tobin at Archbishop's Office, 171 Clifton Ave., Newark, NJ 07104.
Raise Your Voice: Directly contact the Newark Archdiocese leadership to express your concerns. Reach out to Rev. Anthony Palombo at (973) 497-4005 and Rev. John Chadwick at (973) 497-4003.

NJPHIPAC’s Felicia Milelli recently went on Good Morning CHD to offer some background on the current predicament in NJ:
Historically the Archdiocese of Newark has served as a refuge for all of God’s children, as a place where fundamental health freedom was respected. But in 2019 the Archdiocese of Newark reversed its policy on religious exemption for immunizations. The timing of the shift to me indicated that it was likely influenced by a climate of fear during that time.
Since then there have been ongoing efforts to counter this policy, but despite efforts from families, they have been left in a precarious situation needing to remain low key to keep their children in catholic schools. Although we have had inquiries over the past 4 years… deeply concerned family members of the Newark Archdiocese indicated that this fragile status was deteriorating and had been deteriorating. Families continuously faced removal from schools if their religious exemptions were discovered and new families were being turned away.
Recently, a trusted source within the archdiocese indicated that, without vocalized support for these families, many children risk losing their catholic education altogether. The Cardinal in that diocese, Cardinal Tobin… we were told that he rarely received letters or conversations on this issue. And we just really understood that silence was probably misleading him of the seriousness of this matter. That really prompted us to take action.
You can read a little history on attempts to remove New Jersey’s religious exemptions here. And send a letter here.
Losing our Religion
A climate of fear, indeed.
Faith leaders were subjected to an intense and targeted vaccine propaganda campaign as they were pressured to embrace and promote vaccines as a “compassionate” measure.
Most states were happy to provide religious exemptions… until people started using them. Then they became a threat to mandates… I mean, public health…
…But as legislators increasingly earn the distrust of constituents by imposing draconian mandates that are unsupported by science, more people are asking questions, finding God and rediscovering their individual rights. In other words, the growing demand for religious exemptions is reflective of a forced evolution…
COVID-shot mandates - which threatened to keep people from entering public spaces, attending college and sporting events, traveling and even keeping their jobs - accelerated a growth curve around informed consent.
But rather than addressing the legitimate concerns of the public, the medical industrial complex opted to recruit more “trusted messengers”. And they zeroed in on “faith actors”.
Faith leaders are now stepping out of their lanes to take vocal positions on vaccines based on outdated and disproven talking points from a script that was written just for them. (This is why you’re hearing that vaccinating is “an act of love.”) Sadly, many have become the unlikely victims of government propaganda and Scientism.
This has led to unvaccinated people of faith being denied entry into their own churches and synagogues, even as “All are welcome” signs adorn the properties. In the more tragic of ironies, Jews were required to “show their papers” to attend services at their synagogues.

Because of this campaign of weaponized compassion, many clergy members were unable to see a bigger picture and have continued to deny religious exemptions. This is where grassroots advocacy communities have stepped in once again.
An Uncomfortable Growth Curve
Health freedom victories have not been easily won.
Despite decades of education, advocacy and respectful conversations with legislators, saving religious exemptions in NJ ultimately required a collaborative all-hands-on-deck approach from parents and others who had been taking various approaches to health freedom advocacy prior to 2019/2020. It required putting differences aside and working together towards a shared goal.
We witnessed the rigging.
We observed the strong-arming and the perversion of due process.
Small victories were short-lived and that bill kept resurfacing.
We were told again and again that it was hopeless… that, despite our best efforts, nothing could stop what was coming.
Goliath was too big. Our mission was impossible. It was a forgone conclusion.
We kept showing up anyway.
And we refused to leave.
The need to root into our values and work together resurfaces again and again.
It is uncharacteristic of both clergy and Catholic schools to medically discriminate against unvaccinated children of faith. Parents are modeling their values as they appeal to faith leaders who remain unaware of the failings of the current vaccination program. Many of these religious leaders have not been informed about the lack of scientific support for the “safe and effective’ narrative they were encouraged to promote. They don’t know about the growing number of vaccine-injuries and health impacts in young people. And most know little or nothing about troubling ingredients in the vaccines themselves.
Why is the CDC deleting its list of vaccine ingredients?
Stand for Health Freedom noticed something odd. And their observation kept disappearing…
You start to see why the CDC might want to bury the list. Because it’s not just toxins. It’s also evidence of vile practices within the scientific community.
If you’re not familiar with MRC-5, here’s how Wikipedia describes it:
MRC-5 (Medical Research Council cell strain 5) is a diploid cell culture line composed of fibroblasts, originally developed from the lung tissue of a 14-week-old aborted Caucasian male fetus
Sounds so sterile and academic.
But here’s a video that might offer a different perspective:
(Trigger Warning: this is very hard to watch)
…The CDC excipient list isn’t just an incriminating list of toxins. It’s more evidence of the systematic dehumanization of science and the corruption that protects these practices.
Moving Forward with Faith
It’s not clear who is behind efforts to seek out unvaccinated students and eliminate them from some Catholic schools, but we’ve seen these types of tactics before throughout the legislative process. They are designed to keep us quiet and fearful.
For the future of our children, we cannot be. And there’s evidence that at least some of our clergy are willing to listen, learn and maybe even advocate for change. We just need to access them.
We can and should engage with decision-makers in our community and share concerns, research, insights and experiences to help them make thoughtful and informed decisions. We don’t need to be rude or aggressive. We can be respectful and persistent. Anyone genuinely interested in making good decisions on behalf of the people they represent should welcome this, since it’s in service to everyone.
Perhaps one of the most important things we can teach our children right now is how to engage in respectful discourse as they advocate for themselves. Let’s model it for them as we work to preserve their freedom and educations.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
—Martin Niemöller
All they have to do is watch Candace Owens’ series A Shot In the Dark. It explains the harms of each childhood vaccine. Why would priests question the miraculous immune system God has created?
