Terrence Caster hopes that any passersby who come upon a planned Saturday, Oct. 10 Eucharistic procession and rosary rally in San Diego will have a peaceful thought.

“It’s nice for people to see a group walking without burning buildings or shooting each other and that are all praying together,” Caster told the American Catholic Tribune. “That's the goal.”

Sponsored by Legatus, San Diego Chapter, and Catholic in Recovery, the event is part of the nationwide movement Unite Our Nation and Rosary Coast to Coast.

“Black people can attend,” said Caster, who founded Caster Charities and is organizing the event. “White people can attend. Red people can attend. We don’t see color. We’re all souls of Jesus Christ and we should be respected highly and protected from each other. People are destroying family and life. We need protection.”

The non-partisan, family-focused event begins at 1 p.m. and is designed to bring prayer to San Diego and to heal the nation.

“Prayer is always needed, not only during an election year.  It is especially needed now, during this year of many challenges, to bring Christ to the streets and pray for healing of our great Nation,” said Maria Frausto-Chavez, grant administrator for Caster Charities and executive assistant to Terrence Caster.

Local clergy will lead the rally starting at Our Lady of Rosary church on State Street and end at the San Diego County Administration Building on Pacific Highway. The rosary is scheduled for 12:30 p.m.

“They let these marches go on every day around the country and these governors and mayors don't do a thing,” Caster said in an interview. “The poor people that are trapped in those communities are just being destroyed because the socialist and communist way of doing things is just horrible. It's so bad for the poor or anybody.”

As previously reported, the San Diego procession and rosary is among some 30 planned nationwide, including in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Sunday, Oct. 4; Detroit on Saturday, Oct. 31; Steubenville, Ohio on Saturday, Oct. 3; Little Rock, Arkansas on Saturday, Oct. 17; and Atlanta on Saturday, Nov. 7.

“We plan to have chairs for persons who can not process around the building,” said Frausto Chavez who is co-organizing the event with Caster. “We will be practicing social distancing, requiring masks and providing hand sanitizer.”

Unite Our Nation was co-founded by Kevin O’Brien who also co-founded Men in Christ.

“We are passionately patriotic with a deeply-rooted love for America,” he said. “We believe in the power of the Eucharist and the serenity of the rosary. In unison with our bishops and priests, we help the faithful plan processions throughout our country as a balm to violence and fear.”
