Youth lead the 74th annual Living Rosary

Arranged in the shape of a rosary, children took turns leading the prayers of the glorious mysteries of the rosary during the 74th annual Living Rosary on Oct. 5 at St. Michael Church. 

A crowd of hundreds prayed, listened to Scripture readings, reflected on a homily and sang in prayer as Archbishop Shelton J. Fabre crowned a statue depicting Our Lady of Fatima. The centerpiece of the event was the prayers led by children, each representing a bead of the rosary.
