Escolastica Cabrera, Saipan's captain of the America Needs Fatima organization, is inviting the public to join the second annual Public Square Rosary Rally on Oct. 11 in commemoration of the 91st Anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima's apparition.

The rosary rally will be held at the Garapan Fishing Base Ground starting at noon.

The activity will be a follow-up to the first Holy Rosary rally that was held last year.

Cabrera and her daughter, Olinka Chaudhry, had just arrived from Topeka, Kansas, where they completed a weeklong volunteering service to increase rosary rallies around the world.

Cabrera explained that it was on Oct. 11, 1917, when the image of the Lady of Fatima appeared on the horizon at exactly 12pm in Fatima, Portugal.

“I am inviting everyone in the community, Catholic and non-Catholic to attend. On that day, we join one another to pray for the Holy Rosary,” Cabrera said.

She said everybody must come with open hearts to pray for peace because the future is clouded by terrorism, depression, suicide, crime, corruption and broken families.
"God's law is transgressed. Blasphemy is rampant,” Cabrera noted in a statement to the public.


She said that at Fatima, Portugal, the Mother of God asked everyone to pray the rosary, do penance, and “amend our lives but we did not really listen.”
Cabrera urged the public to start a new moral crusade and join the Rosary campaign.

“We have to remember that “there will be no peace in our lives or in society unless we honor God and obey His law,” she said.

“This prayer rally is the Blessed Mother calling and it's a worldwide rosary campaign,” she said.

The activity will be coordinated nationally by the Tradition Family Property and its America Needs Fatima campaign.
