On October 7, St. Pius V School took part in a Rosary Rally, calling on the intercession and protection of Our Lady. More than 200 students processed in song to the Providence College campus, where the students prayed in front of a statue depicting Mary entrusting the rosary to St. Dominic. Led by their parochial vicar, Father Irenaeus Dunlevy, O.P., the entire school prayed for protection against those forces which harm families today, including the evil of abortion.
