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.

1372 King St. West, Toronto, ON
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.

12 people attended the Rally. We prayed the Rosary together and all the prayers suggested in the Manuel. We added the Salve Regina song to it. I made my own posters or signs to hold during the Rally. We had a lot of rain and strong winds but we managed to continue. Public reactions were mostly positive. We had a really good day!

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.
