Narragansett: More than 80 boats take to the sea for Blessing of the Fleet

Fishing trawlers, pleasure yachts, Coast Guard vessels and even the Block Island ferries all received a benediction as they passed through the Galilee breachway Saturday afternoon for the annual Blessing of the Fleet. “Lady Frances, may almighty God bless you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and all those who sail upon you,” the Rev. Francis Kayatta, pastor at St. Mary Star of the Sea in Narragansett, intoned while making the sign of the cross as the Lady Frances passed by.,, “Proud Mary, may almighty God bless you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and all those who sail upon you,” he repeated. “And your little dog too,” he added to a passenger holding a small dog. The passengers yelled back, “Thank you, reverend.”>click to read< 14:32

    “THE BLESSING OF THE FLEET” a colorful common event frequently celebrated all summer long… Now with “CATCH SHARES” you’re lucky to get a glimpse of what’s left!!! Isn’t that interesting EDF and CLF have made many BLESSINGS fade away too!!!???
    Soon the Wind-Turbines will represent a Crucifix for every Fishermen you’ve put out of business!!! HUMANS shouldn’t hunt Humans, speaking of “ENDANGERED SPECIES”??? I’d hate to think of the many lives this “CORPORATE TAKEOVER” has taken just through stress!!!

      Stress? Ya think? How many lives have been ruined and how many more need to be destroyed? The whole situation sickens me. More than you know.

    Here’s an interesting summer read. “Den of Thieves” by James Stewart it’s Non-fiction unlike some of Boris Worms creativity…
    If you weren’t aware Felons are allowed to donate…. It doesn’t state that in the Book but I felt you should know!!! M & M’s are not suppose to melt in your hands… They will if you’re feeling the heat though!!!
