From the Inbox...

"So far my efforts have been easy. The materials and guides you have prepared have made the rally almost effortless. With everything I have accomplished to date, I have felt Our Lady’s guiding hand. The businesses I have requested help from were waiting for me almost as if someone told them I was coming.

"I am now contacting newspapers, churches, and am inviting the bishop to attend. There is a professional photographer to take pictures. A professional musician with sound system, and volunteers for every task needed to make this a go. Now I need the people to respond to Mary’s call. Thanks for your organization and help."

Getting Ready in Savannah, Georgia

"We are busy planning our public Rosary on October 13. So far, the plan includes Mass at noon followed by a public procession and Rosary on the front steps of the Cathedral in Savannah. We have contacted pro-life groups, student groups and Legion of Mary members so far.

"My group wishes to know what materials are available from TFP: handouts, banners, rosaries, that we might purchase or use. I have already acquired 100 brochures on praying the Rosary from Catholic Extension.

"We will be taking pictures and I will be happy to write a short article for you after the event."

“Everyone loved it and are asking for more…”

"I am your Rosary Captain for West Hempstead, N.Y. and we just had a Public Square Rosary today (Aug. 19) at Hall’s Pond Park.

"Flyers went out and phone calls were made… We had a statue of Our Lady of Fatima along with your banner and banners we had made up for Our Lady of Fatima… We had a turn out of about 30 people who were excited and happy to be there. We performed a procession, sang hymns to Our Lady and said the Rosary and the Litany.

"Everyone loved it and are asking for more… They look forward to the Rally of Oct. 13th. We honored Our Lady, asked for the conversion of sinners, asked for her Immaculate Heart to triumph.

"Most people felt a great joy and peace… it was wonderful."
