The Ruth Institute is proud to announce that Bishop Glen John Provost will lead the Apostles Creed and Mayor Nic Hunter will lead the first Our Father
when the faithful gather to pray the Rosary October 13 at the second annual “Rosary Around the Lake.”
This event, hosted by The Ruth Institute, is in conjunction with Rosary Coast to Coast started by Fr. Heilman
of Madison, Wisconsin, last year. October 13 was chosen in honor of the Miracle of the Sun in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917.
“We are honored and grateful to have the participation of our very own bishop and mayor to start off this year’s Rosary Around the Lake,” said Dr. Jennifer
Roback Morse, founder and president of The Ruth Institute.
“Lake Charles is an incredible city in an area with a rich Catholic heritage,” Morse added, noting that many local businesses and professional offices
have been promoting the event with signs in their windows and fliers for their customers. These businesses include The Center for Chiropractic and
Rehabilitation, Mr. Bill’s Seafood, Hobgood’s Pharmacy, Great Harvest Bread Company, Big Daddy’s Sports Grill, and St. Luke’s Medical Clinic.
Last year’s event brought more than 800 people. “We expect an even larger crowd this year,” Morse said.
Rosary Around the Lake will be held at the northwest end of the Lake Charles Civic Center. Groups of 11 will spread around the lakefront, wearing ten blue
“Hail Mary” shirts and one gold “Our Father” shirt. People will begin assembling at 2 PM. The recitation of the Rosary will begin at 3 PM, to coordinate
with the national effort.
Participants are encouraged to register for the event here, where more information can be found.
The Ruth Institute is a global interfaith coalition to defend the family and build a civilization of love. “Whether you are Catholic or not, we encourage
everyone to join us in prayer in his or her own way, for our country and for the world,” Morse said. “So join us Sunday, October 13!”
