KEY WEST, Fla.—The completion
of the Overseas Highway to Key
West promises a great future for this
historic city, one which is already
evident, in the increased number of
visitors, many of whom attend St.
Mary’s, Star of the Sea, Church.
Many of the bridges along the
Overseas Highway were destroyed in
the tropical storm of 1935.
The Messenger of Our Lady of
Prompt Succor recalls that in 1932,
When Key West was in the throes of
a depression which was accentuated
by the destruction of bridges, the
Rev. F. X. Dougherty, S. J., began
devotions to Our Lady of Prompt
Succor each Friday evening for the
intention of the future of Key West.
