A school with Mary’s presence: “Rosary and Cannoli”
Our first “Rosary and Cannoli” began with 12 guys and Fr. Justin. Every month more guys came, and we’ve had as many as 200! We never imagined this little idea we had with Father would explode into this. Praying to God our Father and Mary to intercede for us and our world is a focal point at Iona Prep. We don’t need to say anything now, and the guys just show up without thinking twice. It’s just impacted the whole Iona Prep community. Now, it’s one of the staples that everyone talks about. And when you walk into the chapel with all of these Iona men, some teachers, and Fr. Justin praying the rosary, you feel Mary’s presence. She is here. And I think she is interceding. – John Capozolli, President of the Italian Club, Iona Preparatory School, New Rochelle, NY
