PRAY THE ROSARY FREQUENTLY!
Picture
"Say the Rosary every day . . . Pray, pray a lot and offer sacrifices for sinners . . . I'm Our Lady of the Rosary.  Only I will be able to help you. . . . In the end My Immaculate Heart will triumph." 
~~Our Lady at Fatima

                         CAN TABS

Please continue to save can tabs.  They will be collected at each meeting and saved for our 2020 state convention.   We did an excellent job last year and want to do better for the June 2020 convention.  Remember that these tabs are given to the Ronald McDonald House Program to help support accommodations for family members whose children are in the hospital.   A Ronald McDonald House is that “home-away-from-home” for families so they can stay close by their hospitalized child at little or no cost.

            THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR  PREVIOUS DONATIONS!

BACKPACK AND SHOEBOX MINISTRY
WATCH FOR SALES!

Voluntary contributions of backpacks for needy school children and toiletry bags for the homeless shelters are due at our June meeting but can be submitted at any time.  See the links below for suggestions to fill backpacks and/or toiletry bags.

The Don Bosco Columbiettes are sponsoring a campaign to seek our Blessed Mother’s intercession for Salvation Of Souls.  Please support this endeavor to collectively say ONE MILLION HAIL MARYS by praying and reporting the amount of Hail Marys you have said.  This campaign will run from September 8, 2019 (Our Blessed Mother’s birthday) to May 31, 2020.  A dedicated e-mail address has been set up at:
hailmarysforSOS@gmail.com to receive tallies from anyone at anytime.  Please ask family members, friends, neighbors, church groups, etc. to pray Hail Marys to help in obtaining this goal.  Thank you for your assistance.
