Thank you, OLL School for the family fun!
After a general invitation to the parish from our pro-life ministry, 62 people showed up on a Sunday afternoon to form a Life Chain. They lined Lake Boone Trail with tasteful signs advocating respect for all human life. They received many positive responses and more than a few surprised looks. These efforts do make a difference!
Amazing turn out for Rosary procession and Mass last week. Our Lady of Victory Praesidium was present and carried their praesidium’s banner. After Mass, many people who completed the St Louis Marie de Montfort consecration for Our Lady of the Rosary recited the consecration promise and received a certificate stating their consecration to Mary.

The feast day was originally called Our Lady of Victory, established by Pope Pius V in 1571 to commemorate the Christian victory at the Battle of Lepanto (victory was due to the intercession of Our Blessed Mother and all who prayed the rosary for victory) Pope Leo XIII changed the feast name to Our Lady of the Rosary and wrote eleven encyclicals about our Lady of the Rosary and its feast.
