Photos and report from the Traditional Marriage Rally in Cincinnati, Ohio

About 65 people joined our second  Rally for Traditional Marriage, about double the number of folks who joined us for the December 8, 2011 Rally. 

We were blessed with a picture-perfect spring day with bright sunshine, a gentle breeze, and temps in the upper 70's.  There was a tremendous diversity of folks, both age-wise and also Catholics as well as non-Catholics, including one gentleman who was considering becoming a Catholic. 

The crowd also included a nun and five members of the Knights of Columbus, one in his full dress regalia, and a Ph.D molecular biologist, along with six children and a respectable group of middle-agers. 

The Rally was on a busy road adjacent to the Cincinnati metro's largest shopping center, thus assuring both high visibility and a variety of people passing by the area.  We used walkie-talkies which greatly aided in our communications and coordination of prayers for the rally. 

There were about 500 - 600 cars that passed during our 45 minute Rally, with the vast majority of the responses received being positive, but with some negatives too. 

We hosted a luncheon after the Rally to give everyone a chance to talk over the events of the day and plan our strategy for the next one.
