Rosary at the Logan County Courthouse

Logan County Courthouse, Bellefontaine, Ohio.

Join the 2020 Public Square Rosary Crusade!!!!!

​

America is at a historic crossroad. God is more offended than ever as people ignore Our Lady’s maternal request to “stop offending God.” As a result, America is suffering from a pandemic, rioting, looting and murder, as well as moral and societal collapse. It is urgent that we heed Our Lady’s request and stop sinning if we hope to enjoy God’s blessings and to avert His wrath. He will hear us, if we pray through the intercession of His Blessed Mother. That’s why we’re doing the 2020 Public Square Rosary Crusade.

In The Secret of the Rosary, Saint Louis de Montfort said: “Public prayer is far more powerful than private prayer to appease the anger of and call down His mercy, and Holy Mother Church, guided by the Holy Ghost, has always advocated public prayer in times of public tragedy and suffering.”

Eucharistic Procession & Family Fun Day

ST. MARY OF THE WOODS CHURCH TO

OUR LADY OF FATIMA SHRINE, RUSSELL'S POINT

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2020 AT 4:00 PM

Mark your calendars now for our Eucharistic Procession from St. Mary of the Woods Church to the Fatima Shrine! You will not want to miss this event! We will have free food, games, activities for kids, and music at the shrine following the procession.

The American Society of Ephesus has generously provided a grant to cover all expenses for the Family Fun Day.

Eucharistic processions are a powerful way to witness to our faith in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. If Christ is truly present in the Eucharist, then why would we not process through the streets with Our lord? There are tremendous graces that flow from a Eucharistic procession. In Scripture, we hear that great crowds gathered around Christ when He entered towns, and “power went forth" from Him (Mk 5:30). Imagine how many graces will come forth from Our Lord for the people of Russell's Point!

If you have never been part of a Eucharistic procession, it is an exciting way to invigorate your faith and to witness outside the walls of the church. Now is your chance - join us with your family and friends!

In case of rain, Fun Day will be held in the Church Hall.
