The church had dual festival, the first part OF
which is prescribed by the ritual, being the Feast
OF the Holy Rosary, and the second a lay least
the anniversary OF the young ladies' sodality Of

zeal which makes their national festivals
so noticeable is brought into their religious

success may be formed when 1t Is stated that yes
