All Councils Asked to Schedule a Rosary on Saturday, Nov. 1
|
|
|
In a special letter sent to all State Deputies, Supreme Knight Carl Anderson asked that all councils "schedule a rosary at each local parish on Saturday, November 1, 2008, to pray for divine guidance as critical choices are made on Election Day and to entrust the outcome to the maternal intercession of our Blessed Mother." He noted that "much is at stake, especially in states where citizens will have a chance to vote to protect marriage (Arizona, California and Florida), to prevent physician assisted suicide (Washington), to protect the unborn (California, Colorado and South Dakota) and to oppose embryonic stem cell research (Michigan)." He added that in addition, "thousands of candidates will be elected to local, state and federal offices, many of whom will have a voice in deciding whether to legally protect life and marriage." |
