So many TEC parishes these days have a significant number of members who are 
refugees from Rome, there's a lot of interest in these kinds of Marian 
observances. Of course it annoys the heck out of the cradle Prots, but it wouldn’t 
be church without [occasional?] conflict now would it? <g>.

And save for the stuffiest of A-C parishes, it's a great way to engage children
in the liturgy (for parishes which find engaging children important).

Cheers,
