roses, National Catholic Organizations, Religious
Education Programs, Confirmation Classes, Youth
Groups, Diocesan Organizations, Prayer Groups, and
Ethnic Groups. All the organizations throughout the
diocese are invited to be represented in the Blessing

Families Representing Parishes
Each parish is invited to select a family to represent its
parish in the blessing procession. The family is to bring
a red rose. Families with the Roses are to report to the
same table as groups in the procession. As in the past,
