December 8, 2014, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, marked the day to assemble our 1st (of many) 225 ft. World Mission Rosaries. Sister Jean carries the materials for the World Mission Rosary into MCRS. Walt, Principal Don, and Sister Jean gather for a photo Pat and Sister Jean explain the history of Archbishop Fulton Sheen beginning the World Mission Rosary in 1951 through the Pontifical Mission Society. They discussed with the students the various continents and the colors they represent on the map and also the rosary. When we finish praying the rosary, we realize we gave the world a big hug! They asked Fulton Sheen's intercession on this program. We encountered some difficulty while assembling the beads with the wire ties and went to Plan B. The adults assembled the beads as Sister Jean led the 6-8 grade students in praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary. After the assembling was completed, the students formed the circular rosary around the cafeteria and then recoiled the rosary in preparation for the next practice - to be announced.
