BRING AN ITEM TO SUPPORT OUR TROOPS – GET A FREE ROSARY!
Our family activity at this year’s Rosary Rally is a station to make cards for American troops overseas to let them know we are thinking and praying for them. In addition, we’ll be collecting items for the Blue Star Mothers to send care packages. So, when you come to the Rosary Rally tomorrow, bring an item (or two) from the list provided by the Oklahoma Blue Star Mothers if you can! If you bring an item we’ll give you a free rope rosary in addition to the one you walkers & runners are getting in your race packet! Use it to give to a friend or family member – or pass it back to us and we’ll send it to the troops!

So please bring the whole family! You can bring your children to the Fatima Storytelling group at 8:45 — they will keep them safe and entertained until you return from your run, walk or prayer time.
