What one lady did for Our Lady! Incredible!

This is the story of rally captain, Mrs. Escolastica Cabrera, aged 77, from Saipan (my new hero)!

For last year's rosary rally, she prepared an information packed binder with the details about her rally in Saipan.

I had not seen anything like it before.

Contained in Mrs. Cabrera’s binder were, a detailed cover letter, photos of her rally and other rallies, newspaper articles and some of the attractive and eye catching articles that she used to promote her rally. Mrs. Cabrera had 300 souls present to honor Our Lady.

She had lapel pins made for participants to wear with a beautiful image of Our Lady of Fatima surrounded by the words, Our Lady of Fatima, Pray for us.

She also distributed little hand held mini - flags attached to a small stick that were emblazoned with an image of Our Lady of Fatima and the words of the Hail Mary.

Banners were made; ads were also placed in local newspapers promoting the rally.

Mrs. Cabrera’s love for Our Lady is most evident by all of the efforts that she put into having such a successful Public Square Rosary. 

She will be traveling to our campaign office in Kansas later this summer to assist with calls. You might be fortunate enough to speak with her while she is here. I am sure that she will be very happy to share her experiences with you.

For those who are not able to do as much, not to worry. The purpose of this article is for us to admire what a rally captain on the other side of the world was able to do for Our Blessed Mother. If we are limited by time and resources, we can still put on a successful rally for Our Lady.

It is so incredibly simple. All you need to hold a successful rally is, to find a public location, invite some family and friends, bring your rosaries and the materials that we will send to you.

If you haven’t signed up there is still time, but hurry. You can call our campaign office at 866 584 6012 or send an email to: fjslo@aol.com
