This is the fifth year that the worldwide Rosary Coast to Coast will be held across the nation on October 9, 2022. I would like to humbly ask that the diocese make an effort to announce this important event in the bulletin or events webpage as appropriate.
Those who would like to participate as prayer captains may contact us via email at marsha.c@stbernadettesfrc.org. The interested prayer group’s event will be listed on our website here.
Our lives are at stake with all the difficulties that the whole world is facing and clinging to God more than ever is not just an option but it is our only hope.
Please refer to the attached suggested bulletin announcement and flyer for more details. The annual Rosary Coast to Coast is a great way for families to come together with the rest of mankind in prayer and with one heart plead to God for mercy on us all.
Thank you for your continued support. May God bless you and keep you in His generous care!”
