Rosary rally volunteers: "Working with ANF is like going on retreat..."

    The volunteers who travel to Kansas tell us that they receive tremendous graces while here.  Some even describe their stay here as a retreat.  How can so much work be a retreat?  I believe it is because the public square rosary is so important that Our Lady gives great graces to the souls who volunteer to enlist soldiers in her army of rosary rally captains.  She also refreshes their souls and increases their fervor.

    Every morning the volunteers attend Mass and on the way to and from the volunteer office, a rosary is prayed together. 

    It is most common that the volunteers will request the opportunity to go to confession while they are here.  One day a volunteer asked if I would take her to confession, when I arrived to pick her up, there were five more waiting to join her.

    A couple told our office manager that they saw an RV for sale and that they would like to buy it, so that they can travel throughout the country to spread devotion to Our Lady.

    Each day we have callers on duty from 9AM until 9PM central time.  We have two shifts.  Some of our volunteers are so zealous to enlist rally captains that they volunteer to man the phones for the entire twelve hour shift.  We try to discourage them, because it can, over days, become quite tiring, but no, they insist on being here for the entire twelve hours.

    Many volunteers take names home with them to do more enlisting of rally captains, or they call all of their friends and relatives trying to enlist them.

    It is a blessing for our regular staff to be in the company of such fervor.

    If you would like to speak to one of our volunteers, please call them toll free at (866) 584 - 6012.  If you haven't signed up to become a rally captain yet, after your conversation it is very likely that you will be a rally captain.
