Message from our Church Director
Dear Brothers,
It has been 3-1/2 months since our State Deputy asked me to take on the

Order.
I would like to encourage as many as possible to join the Rosary Sunday
celebrations in Tucson and Phoenix this coming weekend. It is a wonderful
time to show our love of Mary and to take a moment to be in the presence...

State Deputy Message - October 2014
October 1, 2014
Brothers,
