Saturday, Oct. 13, 2007 – Our Lady of Fatima procession, San Diego

"We first walked in procession to Planned Parenthood, where we prayed a decade of the Rosary."


Dozens of Catholic crusaders marched in procession from Our Lady of the Rosary church to the nearby Planned Parenthood and Family Planning Associates abortion mills on Saturday, Oct. 13.

Participants in the procession carried a Lady of Fatima statue and a large banner reading, "We are praying for an end to abortion." We hit the streets at 1 p.m. on the 90th anniversary of the last Fatima Apparition. The block-long procession was an impressive public witness.

We first walked in procession to Planned Parenthood, where we prayed a decade of the Rosary. We then moved on to a location at Balboa Park across the street from the Family Planning Associates abortion mill. There we joined by another public Rosary group headed by Rally Captain Terry Laughlin.

It was an honor to venerate Our Lady of Fatima and commemorate the 90th anniversary of the last Fatima apparition. Surely many graces will come from the 2,000 rallies held at the same time across the country.
