HICKORY — Parishioners at St. Aloysius Church held their annual Patriotic Rosary on Tuesday, June 25.
Joan Moran, a parishioner of St. Aloysius, has promoted this prayerful event for years.
Deacon Bill Schreiber led the opening and closing prayers. The Knights of Columbus, who attend every year, were dressed in full regalia and processed into the church with the American flag.
Those in attendance prayed for the conversion of our country, the leadership of our nation, every state, and every soul in every state. James Maxson (not pictured) led the choir. This year, the Knights of Columbus donated Patriotic Rosaries made by parishioners for everyone who attended.
