OCTOBER—ROSARY MONTH
The month of October is traditionally the Month of the Rosary. We will have a rosary devotion on weekdays at 7pm (bilingual), on Saturdays at 3:30pm before the 4pm Mass (English), and on Sundays after the 11am Mass (Polish). This is a great opportunity for our parish family to begin saying the Rosary not only in church but also at home. Our Blessed Mother requested in her apparitions in Fatima to say the Rosary for the intention of world peace. Praying the rosary is the shortcut of the mysteries of our faith according to John Paul II. We need prayer for peace in the world and in our families. Let’s begin now as October is a perfect opportunity.
