October - The Month of the Rosary

The month of October is dedicated to the Most Holy Rosary. The liturgical feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is celebrated annually on October 7. It was instituted to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary in gratitude for the protection that she gives the Church in answer to the praying of the Rosary by the faithful.

During the month of the October, let us consider this beautiful prayer of the Rosary as a means that we too can use in order to draw closer to Jesus and Mary, by meditating on the great mysteries of our salvation.

In honor of the month of the Rosary, the Rosary Altar Society wishes to invite all parishioners to pray the Rosary with us on Sunday, October 5, at 8:30 AM at Our Lady of Sorrows Church.

For anyone in need, Rosary beads and prayer pamphlets will be available at Our Lady's Shrine in Our Lady of Sorrows Church, and at the side altar of the Blessed Mother at St. Anthony Church throughout the month of October. Free will donations will be greatly appreciated to help replenish supplies and to pay for postage for the rosaries we send to the 3rd world missions, the military, and the First Communicants.
