Please sign our petition urging President Obama to invite Fr. James Martin, SJ to perform the Inaugural Benediction.
Fr. Martin is a prominent Jesuit priest & theologian, chaplain to the Colbert Report, frequent contributor to CNN, NPR, Fox News, Time Magazine, & The NY Times, contributing editor at America magazine & author of the severalbooks "The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything," "My Life with the Saints," "Between Heaven and Mirth" and "Becoming Who You Are".
He is a kind, generous and loving priest who bases his faith in God on the concept of inclusion and love. He is an exemplary religious leader whose words match with his deeds. Including him would bring dignity, inclusiveness and gentility to the ceremony & to our nation.
Thank you!
Andrea Ciannavei & Robert Sherill
