Men Praying the Rosary for Community Unity initially brought together graduates of Jesuit and St. Augustine High Schools to pray monthly for community unity. Since then, it has expanded to include men from across the city and, on Zoom, from across the country. Each year in December, participants organize a special Rosary to which all are invited and which raises money for a designated charity.
