Please mark your calendars for Saturday October 13, from Noon to 2PM and join your fellow St. Louis area Catholics for a “Public Square Rosary” underneath the Gateway Arch!

In commemoration of the 90th anniversary of Our Lady’s appearance and the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima, America Needs Fatima is sponsoring over 2000 Public Square Rosary Campaigns across the country.

Here is a sample for a bulletin announcement that you can use to help promote this event around the diocese. If you cannot make it to the Arch on October 13th, perhaps you can go to another site around town. There cannot be TOO many Public Square Rosary events in our city on that day!

Public Square Rosary - America Needs Fatima is sponsoring a “Public Square Rosary” on Saturday October 13th to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Our Lady’s appearance and the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima. This is part of a nationwide campaign to fulfill Our Lady’s wish to pray the Rosary in a public way; over 2000 events are being planned across the country. Our main location for praying the Rosary in St. Louis will be in front of the Gateway Arch from 12 Noon to 2PM on October 13th. Anyone interested in participating or leading a Public Square Rosary of their own should contact Mark Serafino 573-459-5531, valmark5(at)fidnet.com

Please feel free to circulate this announcement within your parish, on Catholic Blogs, in book stores etc. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at the number listed above.

If you know that you CAN make it that day, please drop me a line. It would be nice to get somewhat of a ‘headcount’ in advance…

Please pray for a large crowd and MANY Public Rosaries in St. Louis and ask that our efforts are only and always pleasing to Our Lord.
