The Holy Rosary

The Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary is one of the most popular devotions of the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church. The image of the Rosary is inseparable from the Roman Catholic Church. Certainly, there are countless devotions in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the East. But, where then did the Rosary come from? How did it gain such popularity in the West?

Dear Parishioners and Friends,

Thanks to all who have planned this Sunday's "Un-Lawn Fete." Lots of rushed planning has gone into this since we had no idea what things would be like at this point in August. It's good to have something "somewhat like" we have had in previous years. This is the 26th straight year for this wonderful opportunity to get friends and parishioners together—be it with a distance-required aspect. This will help us meet the financial needs of our parish, especially our annual insurance obligations. Please support it in any way you can. If you find that you're unable to attend, or it's slipped your mind, you can always send a "Lawn Fete Donation" to the parish office to assist us. Thanks to all those who have prepared so much for this day and those who will attend.

Gratefully,
Father Dick
