Seven volunteers are needed, each to pray the rosary daily for one week. On the first Sunday, Father will bless the participating family and the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The family will return the image the following Sunday so it can be passed to the next family; this will continue for seven weeks. Volunteers are needed for the weeks of October 18th and 25th and November 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th. Anyone who wishes to participate in the weekly rosary may contact Jose Guevara or Hank Jentzen. More details will be mentioned in the announcements on Saturday and Sunday. Thank you.
