Pray for America: Nora Romero of Clovis plans to gather with others at noon Saturday for a rosary rally in the parking lot at the Clovis Municipal Schools administration building on Main Street.
Romero said she was asked by the America Needs Fatima Foundation in New York to be a rally captain.
America Needs Fatima rallies are held each year on the closest Saturday to Oct. 13.
“On October 13, 1917, Our Lady performed a miracle witnessed by 70,000 people, including atheists, communists and anti-Catholics,” according to americaneedsfatima.org. “Some of them converted. The 2015 Public Square Rosary Rallies will remind the person on the street that conversion is possible.”
The goal of America Needs Fatima, according to the website, is “to win the heart and soul of America for Mary by spreading Our Lady’s Fatima message and promoting devotion to her immaculate heart.”
Last year, more than 14,000 rosary rallies took place across the country, Romero said.
She said more than 85 people participated in Clovis a year ago and she hopes for more this year.
“I hope everything turns out wonderful like last year with good weather,” Romero said. “We are going to have faith that it’s going to be great.”
