Yesterday our parish recited the Freedom Rosary for the benefit of religious freedom in our 50 states.   We prayed for each individual state and their residents. Below is George Washington's quote that prefaced the rosary.  Praying that our nation does not continue on the path where upon our religious freedoms are wiped away.
