Actually, Rosary Rallies will be held all over the world on that day.
October 13th, 2007 is the 90th anniversary of the final apparition of Mary to the three children in Fatima.....when she made her presence known to the throng of thousands with the miracle of the sun. It had rained absolutely torrents for hours and everyone was soaked. After Mary spoke with the three children, the sun began a dazzling "dance" in the sky and seemed to be falling to the earth when suddenly it stopped and reversed direction.....leaving everyone and their clothes perfectly dry. Even the skeptics and atheists could not explain what had happened.
"On October 13, 1917, the final in the series of the apparitions of 1917, a crowd believed to be approximately 70,000 in number,[3] including newspaper reporters and photographers, gathered at the Cova da Iria in response to reports of the children's prior claims that on that day a miracle would occur "so that all may believe".[1] It rained heavily that day, yet countless observers reported that the clouds broke, revealing the sun as an opaque disk spinning in the sky and radiating various colors of light upon the surroundings, then appearing to detach itself from the sky and plunge itself towards the earth in a zigzag pattern, finally returning to its normal place, and leaving the people's once wet clothing now completely dry. The event is known as the "Miracle of the Sun". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_Fatima

No to your questions. What's the Rally ? Seeing how long someone can make a Rosary and recite a Hail Mary for every bead ? Should give purpose to some fruitless lives, with "emphases" on the FRUIT......

That sounds like the one we had here back in May at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Ca, they called it the Rosary Bowl.
But no I have not heard about yours
