What has become an annual event, the Living Rosary was presented on the Michigan Capitol steps on Saturday June 3rd.

This event is scheduled not only to make a Pro-Life statement at our Capitol, but also because we know the strength of the Rosary, especially the power when praying together.

We as Knights of Columbus will continue to show our belief in our Catholic Faith and it's teachings with these public displays.
