Stories from the Street

St. Rocco Evangelization

November 3, 2026

Olmstead Township, OH

The following story comes to us from team leader Michael with our team 
in Olmstead Township, Ohio
:
The St. Rocco Evangelization event was one of our most successful outings ever. Over the course of two days, we ran completely out of Miraculous Medals and crucifixes. We also distributed around 1280 rosaries!

For the entire duration of the festival, we had a total of 2,201 tealight candles lit before Our Lord in the Eucharist.

We also led many young adults to Grapevine and Catching Fire.

And what is the crowning jewel, Ashley’s mother accessed the sacrament of confession for the first time ever, and will be receiving the Most Holy Eucharist for the first time since the 80s tomorrow.

Thank you again everyone who helped. The festival begins tomorrow at 10 with Mass, followed by the statue procession, and then Adoration until 10 again. 

God bless all of you. St. Rocco, pray for us!
