Over 40 people gathered at noon along Hwy. 24 in Clearwater to participate in the 2016 Public Square Rosary Crusade Oct. 15.

 

Public Square Rosary Crusades are held annually in October, with groups across the country simultaneously praying for our country and the world. Last year 14,108 rallies were held.

 

The Public Square Rosary Crusade was begun in 2007 by the America Needs Fatima (ANF) organization. Each year ANF invites groups to organize their own event on the closest Saturday to Oct. 13, which is the feast of the last apparition of Our Lady of Fatima and the Miracle of the Sun. 

 

Joan Ohnsorg from St. Luke’s in Clearwater has organized the event for the past two years.
