Advertising

Advertising in our Rosary Sunday Program book is our major source of income. It is a tremendous job to put the Rosary Sunday program book together. The earlier the ads are placed, the easier it is to complete the program book and thus keep expenses down. Please help us with this endeavor by securing ads for the program book NOW! If forms are needed, click below.

It is our hope that all organizations, parishes and groups will be represented in the Rosary Sunday Program Book.
Display ads: Regular (business, church, organization) ads that are printed in the program book.
Individual ads: These are donations in various categories on special pages in the program book.
These pages are a giant step in reaching our goal to
provide the necessary income for Rosary Sunday
expenses, which have increased dramatically the
last few years. Your support is most needed.

Novena for Success of Rosary Sunday Began August 22

August 22 is the feast of the Queenship of Mary. Because we are honoring Our Lady Queen of All Saints, would not this be a GREAT day to begin our Novena?  Starting that Wednesday, and every Wednesday thereafter, join us in praying one decade of the Rosary for the success of Rosary Sunday in honor of the fifth Glorious Mystery, The Queenship of Mary. The Novena will end the Wednesday before Rosary Sunday. Promote this devotion in your Parish, Council, Praesidium, prayer group, etc.

Please put the following in your parish bulletin:

Rosary Sunday 2008, October 12,

3rd St. and Monroe
