If you wish to register for the procession, you may email your registration to Donna click here. We need your group reservations (and the approximate number of people) for the procession before October 7.
Families with roses--Each parish is invited to select a family to represent its parish in the blessing procession. This family is to bring a red rose representing your parish which will be placed in the baskets near the Bishop.
Families with the Roses are to report to the same table as groups in the procession. As in the past, families with roses will have separate seating. We would like a family member to contact us so we can explain to them what is required and give them a history of Rosary Sunday. We will be sending additional information to you.
