I received the email below the other day from a friend after meeting him by chance at a local restaurant. We had taken our granddaughter out for lunch after she played one of Bianca's suitors in The Taming of the Shrew at Chelsea Academy. As we were leaving, he came in with some others. We had passed a group at the park next to the restaurant praying the rosary with a large statue of Our Lady of Fatima and a banner proclaiming her. Wonderful! I asked if he had been with the group since I know he's a mover and shaker when it comes to organizing public prayer. Anyway, He said, no, they had been attending a funeral.
At any rate he invited me to join some of these events. They take place in Front Royal which is about forty minutes form our home in Woodstock, but I hope to join them on days I'll be up there. With the cost of gas, we'll be trying to consolidate errands and activities and limit our traveling. If you live in the Front Royal area, though, consider joining some of these prayer events. We certainly need prayer protection these days. And if you don't live in Front Royal, you can still join. Think of it as distance praying. We are all united when we pray Mary's rosary!
Our Lady, Queen of the Holy Rosary, pray for us.
Our Lady, Queen of Peace, pray for us.

Dear Mary Ann,
