Rosaries for our troopsIn support of our service men and womenin Iraq and Afghanistan, Monaghan Coun-cil, working through the St. Vincent dePaulSociety, is collecting rosaries during Lent. Aspecial basket for the rosaries will be dis-

played in the lobby of the Council.We encourage your donation of rosaries as a personal

Lenten project. The “Rosaries for Soldiers” collectionwill begin March 13th, the first week of Lent and end onApril 10th.

Last year 346 rosaries were gathered, blessed and pre-sented to the St. Vincent dePaul Society by our Council.In addition to your donating personal rosaries, pleaseconsider asking your own parish to join us in this veryworthwhile endeavor.

The “Rosaries for Soldiers” project is a perfect ex-ample of our charitable and patriotic work, It is simpleand easy yet can mean so much to the spiritual well-being of our men and women in uniform. Almost everyfamily has a few extra rosaries around the house. Gatherthem together, drop them off at Monaghan, and help usput them in the hands of our soldiers. Our devotion tothe Mother of God and the graces we receive throughher intercession lead us to her Devine Son. May yourdonation lead our soldiers to a deep inner peace andgrace they so much deserve at this time.

Thank you, Don Hall
