EXETER — Wyoming Area Catholic School continued its long-standing tradition of praying the Rosary as a school community and releasing the Living Rosary balloons on Oct. 6.

The event was led by the seventh and eighth-grade students.

The Living Rosary is made of biodegradable balloons connected without the use of string.
