St. John the Baptist Catholic Church’s Handmaids of the Lord Prayer Group will be hosting a Women’s Morning of Prayer on Saturday, Oct. 13, from 9-11:30 a.m. in the Parish Hall, 4727 McHugh Drive in Zachary.

The event will begin with a light breakfast and remarks from Pastor Jeff Bayhi. Guest speaker Susan Blackwell will offer insights on “Prayer and the Spiritual Direction for Your Family.” The event is free, but reservations are requested.

Following the morning prayer event on Oct. 13, a public Rosary Rally led by Fr. Jeff Bayhi, Pastor of St. John’s, will be held beginning at noon at the Zachary public pavilion on Virginia Street behind the Zachary City Hall annex building.

This event will be one of an estimated 21 rosary rallies within the Greater Baton Rouge area and one of 8,000 rosary rallies sponsored nation-wide by America Needs Fatima (ANF).

The Rosary Rally is for the purpose of praying for the future of America while commemorating October 13, 1917, the day God worked the miracle of the sun at Fatima in Portugal, Spain. 

Last year, the ANF campaign organized over 7,515 Rosary rallies nationwide. Attendance for the Rosary Rally is open to the community, all are invited to bring your rosary and a friend.
