Members of St. Aloysius Church held a Traditional Living Rosary Crusade March 24, praying for and defending traditional marriage. The Living Rosary Crusade is normally held outside, but because of snow, parishioners prayed in Holy Family Hall.
Parishioners at Immaculate Conception Church also organized a rosary for the sanctity of marriage on March 17, praying in front of the chapel facing Main Street where they had also placed a banner for passersby to see the purpose of the gathering.
