What is Rosary Society???
The Rosary Society seeks to enrich souls with a deeper relationship with God
through the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the
handmaid of the Lord, and Mother of God. Our faith is enlivened and
enriched through communal prayer and meditation on the mysteries of the life,
death and resurrection of Jesus and Mary through recitation of the rosary.
Finally, we strive to promote devotion to Our Lady and to her powerful
weapon, the rosary
What does the Rosary Society do???
Our main focus is to recite the rosary and deepen our relationship with God
and the Church.
Each month the Rosary Society offers up the Rosary prayer for specific
intentions along with praying for the Vocations and our Priests. Following the
recitation of the Rosary in the daily chapel, a short meeting is held in the
Family Room, followed by coffee and dessert. The Rosary society also
sponsors special events that honor our “Blessed Mother” such as the Living
Rosary, providing Rosaries to 1st Communicants, and the “May Crowning” of
our Blesses Mother Mary.
