Marian Helpers in Action Marian Helpers Lou Betro (center) and his wife Ann (third from left) faithfully pray the Seven Sorrows Rosary with a group of friends every Wednesday at noon at St. Pius X Parish in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho. Livestream love By Maria V. Gallagher You could call Idaho resident Louis Betro a Marian Fathers “super fan.” A devoted viewer of the livestream of the Marians’ daily Mass, Lou rises each morning by 6 a.m. Pacific Time to participate in the online Liturgy. If he lacks the time to view the entire Mass, he makes sure he catches the homily. “The Marian Fathers,” Lou says, “make me feel like I grew up with them. Father Chris Alar is amazing because he’s honest about his life growing up.” Lou feels such a connection with the priests he sees online that it’s as if he is only a few pews away from them during the sacred liturgy. “We need them because the world is in such chaos,” Lou states. He adds, “The Marians are special and will shine in our world and bring souls back to the Church.” 4 Marian Helper • Fall 2023 • Marian.org
