Original Toronto Star caption: A Record Crowd; estimated at close to 40;000; packed Exhibition park yesterday for the 20th annual Rosary Sunday Holy Hour. Here 550 girls from St. Joseph's College school present the heart-shaped Living Rosary. This annual event; sponsored by the Holy Name Societies of the Archdiocese of Toronto; is believed to be the largest service in English-speaking Canada. Before the service began; some 6;000 youths from 100 parishes took part in a parade; accompanied by bands which wee cheered enthusiastically by the huge crowd.
