Every time I come out of the church into the narthex after we have prayed the Patriotic Rosary, I hear positive comments of how powerful it is.  I always leave feeling thankful for the blessings that have poured out on our country by God over its relatively short history.  I am inspired by the powerful quotes from some of our early leaders who connected God and country so beautifully.  Finally, I have a sense of accomplishment that I have joined with others to pray for our country, its leaders and every citizen in every state of the union confident that through the intercession of Mary, many more blessings will come to our country in the future.  Please join us for the next recitation (and singing) of the Patriotic Rosary.  We will pray it this Sunday (09/11) during our holy hour between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m., and we will pray it next month on Columbus Day, October 10.
