Our Rally was held on October 17, 2021 from 12 Noon to 1pm on the side walk in front of The Savior Of The World Church on Hwy10 and Bristol Road in Mississauga, Ontario.
Even though It was a windy morning, it was wonderful to see the response from all the Participants that joined us. We felt really Happy at the response we were getting as the traffic passed us showing their support by honking their horns and giving us thumbs up. We were drawing attention to Our Lady of Fatima’s Banner while we Prayed the Rosary !
Our Rev. Fr. Salvador C.and the Renovación Charismatic Praying Group of St. Agustin Canterbury Church give to us their support by bringing the statute of Our Lady of Fatima and the speakers placed at the front of the Church. They played and singing the hymns to our Lady.
Thank you so much to Canada needs our Lady for the beautiful rosaries donated, there were delivery to every child and youth people presents. The Rosary was praying in 5 language: English, Espanish, Italian and Arabic at the end of every mystery, each participant placed one Rose ? to our Lady. (Mrs. Martha from Mexico donated 50 fresh Roses) making a unique spiritual experience of love to our Mather of God. Finally, Father Salvador make the consagration and letanies with his bless.
Eventhough, was raining all our brothers and sisters keep praying with a joyfulness until the end.

There were 8 of us, a beautiful day for Mary.
Very positive, heard good comments after.
Ethelbert is a very small community this was its first rally.
I think Corinne (my mother) sent a paper report.

It was my first time pleasure and privilege to have led a 2021 Rosary Rally. Canada definitely needs Our Lady and I was happy that so many of us came together. Our Lady seat of wisdom, PRAY FOR US!

Our rally was very successful even though the day was cloudy and rainy. 43 people attended and prayed together. The rain held off while we gathered and the sun came out for a bit as we said the rosary…. just like at Fatima!
People thought, because of the situation in our country, that this be held on the 13th of every month, beginning in May. Food for thought…

Our rally location was on a busy street. Definitely in a very visible location.
The invitation was extended to our parishioners and friends. Despite the weather forecast for rain and heavy winds in our area, the turnout was beyond our expectations. Over 90 people joined the rosary rally. Our Blessed Mother covered us with clear skies just as we started the rosary prayers. The afternoon was spiritually fulfilling.
Thank you for this blessed opportunity. It is our desire to conduct the annual public rosary to pray for our Nation and for ourselves.
Lachine, St-JPII church
About 30 people gathered in the trees at Our Lady of Victory statue, on Saturday, October 16 at 12 noon. The cloudy morning gave way to sunny intervals, giving warmth to body and our spirit. The presence of Our Lady was felt as we prayed earnestly, asking Mother Mary’s intervention for e.g. conversion for everyone in Chatham and all of Canada, and for VICTORY over the enemy. Even though we were not close to the road, our crowd and banner caught the attention of a couple of cars as the drivers honked their horns in support. This was our third year for CNOL Rally and we look forward to the next rally in 2022.

Toronto, ON – Kipling and Dixon Rd
We were over 30 people, including families with children and our pastor. I did not observe much of a reaction, but that was probably because I was praying and not watching, and there were not many pedestrians. Our pastor said it seemed to make on-lookers thoughtful.

It was due to the pandemic, we moved the rally from a park to a meeting room of the Sacred Heart Church of the First Peoples. We used Facebook Live to broadcast the event over the Internet.
Although we only had 2 priests, 1 deacon, and 2 parishioners able to attend the rally physically, we had over 2 thousand online participants. The reaction was encouraging.

Hi,
My sister Pat and I saw that there was supposed to be a Rally on Quincy St in Beacon Hill North in Ottawa but when we arrived there at noon there wasn’t anything happening so we went to Annunciation of the Lord Parish on Ogilve Road and prayed there together before Mary’s Grotto . There were just the two of us. I posted a few photos and a small video at the link below
This is the first rally ever that happened in this parish and people were very excited! There were 70 people who attended including our pastor, a resident priest, and our transitional deacon. Legion of Mary, CWL, K of C, Youth Group, Liturgical Com., Uno Sangui Cristi, Saint Vincent de Paul, parish counters, sacristans, and parishioners were very helpful and supportive to make our rally successful.

We met at the corner of the Holy Family Church building, by the Statue of Blessed Mother. I had two volunteers to hold the Banner. We started the prayers at 12 PM. with 5 people including the Priest, Fr. Martin, and later on, arrived few more people. In all were 13 plus two children and it was solemn. Our Lady took off the rain and send down few Sun rays. We didn’t encounter disruptions from passing by people, in fact, one fellow joined for 10 minutes and told us he has not been attending the Church. But, did not stay to the end. Some of the attendants were new this year and were quite happy at the end of the event.

I have to tell you, it was an overcast day, as soon as we started to pray, the sun peeked out 2 times, what joy it brought to our hearts. We are always so very touched by the rally each time, we so love it!

The public rally was blessed with a good weather and attendance more than twice that of last year. It was attended by a diversified groups. Unfortunately, we were not able to register the complete attendance. We sang a Marian song after every decade. The participants expressed their feelings that it was a beautiful, blissful and blessed experience. After the prayer rally, we have some sharing of food and fellowship.
It was a rainy day but at noon, the rain stopped and the sun came out albeit briefly. This year’s rally is an improvement from last year’s although we can do better next year.
Near Sheppard and Bayview
Approximately 30-35 people. A few joined from other parishes. A lady saw it advertised online and came from the West end to take part. Another approached me to ask if we could have more Rosary Rallies. Passers by did stop to take in everyone praying. Though rain was in the forecast, it was a miracle that the sun actually came out.

Our first Rosary Rally on 16th October 2021 – praying the Rosary with family.
Toronto
It was again a great rosary rally for us, we started 2017. In 2019 the moment we started to pray we’re hit by a strong violent wind that just come from nowhere.
The wind came from different direction twisting our banner. We had to tie the banner poles to the fence. We prayed the “taking Authority Prayer”, the wind calmed.
The sun gave us a wonderful shine and colours. This Oct. 16, 2021, most of the invitees were unable to come for varied reasons, but the spot the Lord allowed us to hold the rally
was the best visibility so far. We’re almost at the intersection of Parliament St./Dundas St. E, a lot of passers-by, several times the cars stopped due to traffic and Fresco’s grocery buyers. They were looking, watching and reading the banner. The wind again came, detached the banner from the pole but not as strong as it was in 2019. We were prepared with the Taking Authority Prayer and St. Michael Prayer in Latin. What was a big extra for us was the message given by the Lord through Narcing Campana. He shouted at the end of the rally. The Lord says, “I heard your prayers. I respond to your petitions but we need to work together. You need to work on the solutions that I am providing to you.” Narcing said it aloud again and again. He is a quiet shy guy.
We prepared a simple snack, the participants brought their luck of the pot too.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve Our Lady,
Jose, Levee and the Team

We held our first Rosary Rally in Sheshatshiu, which is an Innu Indigenous community in Labrador. We prayed in front of our local arena. The rosary and prayer intentions were prayed in the Innu-aimun language. We were very happy to participate with all the groups across Canada. We had a family join us at the very end and they were overjoyed to join us and to receive our prayers.

Our Rosary Rally was a success. Nine attended out of 15 promised with one coming half hour late. Eight started with song, petitions and prayers following the recommended program. The people passing by were friendly. We were all delighted to be part of this Rosary Rally for Canada. The torrential rains had stopped so that we could take out the banner. Unfortunately rains started again and damaged our banner but we can still used it. God bless you all for doing this work. The paper report follows in an envelope.
Our Lady of the Assumption Church
Public gathering restrictions changed during the planning of the rally reducing gathering numbers from 200 to only 20. We had three groups. Warm but quite windy, so 5 prayer warriors with reduced mobility sat in their cars while joining in with the prayers. All included 67 participants including our parish priest. People left the rally smiling and feeling peaceful and blessed.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to be able to spread the rosary. God bless.

It was wonderful to see more people able to attend that our past 2 years. We hope to continue to grow more each year in honor of our Lady and for the Glory of God. We were also very pleased that our prayers for no rain during the rally were heard!
