September 24, 1996

At the continued request of Our Lady we are attempting to get the children in the schools to pray the rosary and to consecrate their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Mary has requested that we circulate the Rosary Aves and consecration cards to the schools. We have sent a letter to all pastors in the archdiocese of Cincinnati. Several individuals are circulating these rosary aves and consecration cards to schools--both have the imprimatur from Bishop Carl Moeddel.

To accomplish this task for Our Lady we need the funds to print this material.

Any donation you can contribute to this cause would help get the rosaries and the consecrations to the children. Please make checks payable to:

Shepherds of Christ Ministries, and designate on the check, "for the rosaries in the schools."

Thank you,
Rita Ring
