2018 PUBLIC SQUARE ROSARY CRUSADE OCTOBER 13, 2018

The 2018 Public Square Rosary Crusade was a tremendous success with 21,145 rallies in the USA, and 23,081 in 27 nations across the globe. The number of Rosary Rallies has been steadily increasing throughout the years. When we first started in 2007, we were surprised to reach 2,000, whereas now we are slowly nearing 25,000. This increase is a wonderful means to show Heaven of our determination to please God and our willingness to stand up for His moral law.

Next year, it will take place on October 12, 2019  the Saturday closest to the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima.

I cannot believe that it has been 11 years since my first Rosary Rally. It has been in the same park except in 2007 where it was held in the parking lot of a local church. I am very thankful for my husband and the Public Square Rosary Crusaders that comes every year to pray with me even though they are in pain or have just undergone surgery. The cold weather ( 45 degrees) did not deter us with our prayers and singing. There was a guy that came and sat with us. I gave him a rosary and when he left, he said to us that he has not prayed for a long time and needed it. Praise God if we were instruments to help him!

It was such a happy and blessed occasion that we all look forward every year to gather and pray for America and the whole world.

I thank God, the Blessed Mother and America Need Fatima for the opportunity to serve as a rally captain again this year! It is truly an honor and a blessing.

May God bless all of us!

Rosary Rally 2017

REMINDER TO ALL TO PRAY FOR AMERICA AND THE WHOLE WORLD..........
ROSARY RALLY 2017, sponsored by America Needs Fatima, will be on October 14th at 12 noon local time. Goal: 20,000 rosary rallies across the U S....please join your local group!

I am truly honored to be a part of this great ROSARY CRUSADE that keeps on growing every year. I am truly blessed to have been a part of this since the inception....10 years ago in 2007 ( October), the same year ( May 2007) I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I can remember taking invitations to churches from Sterling Hts to St Clair Shores and calling people to join us.

I am also in awe at the hard work and dedication America Needs Fatima does to make sure the rallies are successful every year. I saw first hand how they recruit volunteers to call people all over America to be a part of these rallies. I was blessed and honored to heed the call of the Blessed Mother to volunteer in 2008. Together with my sister from Canada, we spent a week in Rossville, Kansas calling prospective rally captains. It was truly a joy to hear people say yes to us. It was a week to remember....the organization's leaders were very nice and very accommodating. The volunteers were amazing...some were bilingual which was a plus who helped interpreting with the phone calls.

My first rally was held in front of St Jane and we had people from Mt Clemens, Sterling Hts, Troy, St Clair Shores and Canada. I remember someone brought a beautiful statue of the Blessed Mother to be with us during the rally to which I was really thankful. Even though we were all freezing since it was cold and windy, we had a good time praying. Since then, we moved to the park and it has been our gathering place every year ......sunny, windy, rain, snow or sleet!

I thank God and the Blessed Mother for the beautiful people that keep on coming every year to help make the Rosary Rally a success! I thank America Needs Fatima for organizing these wonderful rallies every year! Hip! Hip! Hooray!

Uh, oh....I talked too much...anyway, please join us or your local rally near you.......thank you! May God bless all of us!

When: October 14, 2017 ( Saturday)
Where: James C. Nelson Park, 15 Mile Rd, Sterling Hts, Mi
Time : 12 noon sharp local time
Please bring your rosary & chair.

ROSARY RALLY OCTOBER 15, 2016

Rosary Rally 2016 was a huge success! We were one of the 16, 323 rallies across the United States that prayed for the United States and the whole world! Hip! Hip! Hooray!!!
I cannot believe that the Rosary Rally started in 2007. I remember vividly when I was recruited in 2007. I was just diagnosed with breast cancer and had mastectomy. I was at home recuperating and I managed to make phone calls and distribute pamphlets in churches across Detroit and the surrounding suburbs. It had to be God and the Blessed Mother that helped me accomplish all of this amidst my breast cancer journey. In 2008, I had the honor and privileged, together with my sister from Canada, to travel to Kansas and help recruit rally captains and rally participants all across the United States. It was a huge success and it continues to grow year after year after year! Alleluia!!! Praise be to Jesus Christ!!!
Our rally was held on the park, the same park we had been having our rally since 2008. It was such a gorgeous, beautiful day although it was a little bit on the chilly side with a little wind. We cannot complain since a few years back, we did our rally in between our parked cars since there was sleet, snow and it was windy....but we still managed to pray. How about that time that we had to do our rally under the rain with our hoodies and umbrellas...but we still managed to pray. One of the " ralliers" told me that she could not remember the time of the rally since the message was accidentally erased prematurely, but she and her husband decided to just drive and join us. Guess what? They arrived at 12 noon...I told them it must have been the Blessed Mother that guided them. I'm really amazed about my rally friends that had been with me since 2007! What a commitment these " ralliers ( hehehe....is there such a word?)" have to GOD and the BLESSED MOTHER!!! I really feel grateful and indebted to these marvelous, beautiful people for always making our rally a very successful one every year!
We started our rally at 12 noon sharp ( hehe, not Filipino time, sorry, I could not resist, my Filipino friends and relatives). We sang, prayed our intentions, prayed the Holy Rosary, Consecration, Litany etc. It was such a beautiful rally with amazing, caring, and wonderful "ralliers." We all felt blessed and cannot wait until next year's rally which will be on October 14, 2017, with the goal of 20,000 rallies. Please mark your calendars!
Since the weather was nice and we had some catching up with our friends, we stayed and socialized with each other. After all, we have not seen each other for a year! It was such a joyful, blessed, well spent Saturday afternoon with friends. We were all truly blessed!
I really cannot thank enough my wonderful " ralliers" who have been coming throughout these years through snow, sleet, rain or shine. Thank you also to the people that cannot be with us physically but joined us with prayers as we prayed. Thank you all for making 2016 Rosary Rally a huge success! See you all next year, God willing.
May God bless America and the whole world! May God bless all of us!!!
