WASHINGTON, June 4, 2026 /Standard Newswire/ — The Zeale for America 250 Rally in La Crosse, Wisconsin, has sold out, prompting organizers to offer a free, nationwide livestream on CatholicVote’s YouTube channel on Saturday, June 13, (3:40 pm ET, 2:40 pm CT, 1:40 pm MT, 12:40 pm PT). Thousands have already registered here for the free livestream.
The rally features Cardinal Raymond L. Burke, CatholicVote President and CEO Kelsey Reinhardt, Daily Wire podcasters Michael J. Knowles and Isabel Brown, along with Baltimore Ravens Senior Offensive Assistant Coach Joe Lombardi (grandson of famed Green Bay Packers Head Coach Vince Lombardi), Fr. Ambrose Criste and country music artist Bradley Banning. It is an official Freedom 250 event, and supports the White House America Prays initiative to get one million Americans to pray an hour each week for our country.
“We are celebrating America’s first 250 years with gratitude for her past and a bold hope for her future,” said CatholicVote President and CEO Kelsey Reinhardt. “America cannot be renewed by politics alone. She needs men and women of faith, virtue, courage, and conviction — citizens who love this country enough to pray for America, serve her, and bring the full truth of their faith into the public square. That is the purpose of the Zeale for America 250 Rally: to awaken a deeper love of country, a stronger commitment to prayer, and a renewed confidence that God still has a providential purpose for America. By livestreaming this historic event, we are inviting Americans nationwide to join this moment of prayer, patriotism, and spiritual pilgrimage, and to help spark the renewal that our nation so urgently needs.”
The rally is the centerpiece of a collaboration between CatholicVote and Cardinal Burke to help Americans prepare spiritually for the 250th anniversary of the United States. Part of the White House America Prays initiative, the nationwide prayer campaign is anchored in devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and formation in the virtue of patriotism, all under the motherly mantle of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas.
Now in its 20th year, CatholicVote is America’s top Catholic advocacy organization, leading the fight for faith, family, and freedom. Its mission is to inspire every Catholic in America to live out the truths of the Catholic faith in public life. The Zeale for America 250 Rally is presented by the CatholicVote Education Fund in concert with its recently launched Zeale.co, a new digital platform bringing high-quality Catholic content, community, and prayer directly into the daily lives of Catholics nationwide.
