The How-to-Manual

How to Get Started

1. Location: Suggested locations for the monthly Rosary are: the campus quad, near the student union, on the public square, or in front of an abortion clinic. Note: Activities must be peaceful and legal.

2. Planning: Meet your friends for refreshments before or after each event to discuss general business.

Sample agenda:

• Decide where and when the public Rosary will take place. A good date to consider is the first Friday or Saturday of each month;
• Delegate. Give each person a specific role;
• Set goals. Keep minutes of your meetings;
• Study the Fatima message;
• Reach others. Advertise your events.

3. Organize: Compile contact information of those in your group and others willing to join. It should include e-mail, phone number, and address.

4. Make signs and flyers: Make a sign to display while you pray the Rosary, for example, one that reads: “Our Rosary marks 90 years since the Mother of God urgently called the world to conversion at Fatima, Portugal. You are invited to pray with us.”

If you would like us to send you a ready-made banner, e-mail us at studentaction@tfp.org.

Also, print up a simple handout explaining why you are conducting a public Rosary on campus. When curious people ask questions, give them the flyer.

Reports

Send a brief monthly email report about your activities to CRC headquarters at studentaction@tfp.org. This is important because we hope to organize 2,000 Rosary rallies in 2007 to mark the 90th anniversary of the Fatima apparitions. To have an accurate tally, your reports are vital.
