It is my pleasure to write to you regarding the upcoming Family Rosary Crusade on October 15, 2011 which commemorates the 50th anniversary of the original event organized by Fr. Patrick Peyton in San Francisco with more than 500,000 participants in Golden Gate Park. Father Peyton was the priest who coined the famous phrase “the family that prays together stays together”.
The Knights of Columbus at the Saint Francis Chapter is a co-sponsor of this historic event together with the Legion of Mary and the Immaculate Heart Radio. There will be an estimated 20,000 participants. The Archdiocese of San Francisco, the dioceses of Oakland and San Jose will all participate. In fact, the bishops of these dioceses will be present. It will be held on October 15, 2011 at the Civic Center Plaza in front of the San Francisco City Hall at 12:00 noon.
October 15 will be upon us relatively shortly. We cordially invite you all to come to the event and also ask that you, the Grand Knights, and all others who have received this letter, to actively promote this Family Rosary Crusade among all the members of your Councils by encouraging all your members to attend the event wearing their Council jackets if they have them, offer to help your parishes in promoting the event among the parishioners with pastors’ permission. There shall be a general call-out from the 4th Degree Masters for substantial Color Corps presence.
