“Do you remember what Father (Michael J.) Hunt said years ago at the Confraternity Teen Night?” someone said. Father had predicted that in five years, almost all best friends would lose touch with each other. I hated to think that could happen to us. It’s easy to say, ‘Let's get together over coffee,’ but what if it doesn’t happen? For a moment, we thought back to the good times we had together at St. Leo’s Confraternity dances, to our years of junior high school, and then high school. We had shared so many wonderful memories and experiences. And we sure didn’t want it to end.
“Why don’t we make a reason to get together? We could say the Rosary once a month at one another’s homes and let the Blessed Mother keep us together!” We all agreed that this was a great idea.
Of course it hasn’t always been easy to meet. But through it all, we came together.
Over the past 50 years, we have supported each other through promotions, pregnancies, serious illnesses, victories, defeats, and deaths of parents, siblings, children. No matter what, we could always count on the prayers and love of “The Rosary Group” to carry us through. Through the grace of Our Blessed Mother and the Rosary, we’ve formed loving friendships that will last a lifetime.
