COUNCIL ACTIVITIES IN THE 1980's


(Check for the date) From June to July, the councils in California were urged to open each meeting by praying a decade of the rosary, in commemoration of the Marian Year declared by the Pope. However, at the end of the year, our council decided not to stop after one year, and we continue the practice today.
