On Saturday, October 15, over a thousand Catholics from across the Diocese of Tucson gathered for the annual Arizona Rosary Celebration at Saint Augustine Cathedral. Eighty altar servers accompanied Bishop Edward J. Weisenburger. Parishes and ministries processed in, followed by the Native American matachines.
This year's Arizona Rosary Celebration honored Our Lady Help of Persecuted Christians and included a message from Holy Cross Family Ministries about the persecution of Christians around the world. Bishop Weisenburger led the Eucharistic Procession. Priests, religious sisters, and Catholic teens led the Rosary as a united Church.
