Family Rosary—The month of October has been dedicated as the month of
The Holy Rosary since 1571. The Feast of Our Lady
of the Rosary is October 7th. During this month of
October, when we honor Mary and turn to her in a
special way for guidance and protection, let us espe-
cially remember the power of the Rosary. Honor
her by joining us before Mass on the Blessed
Mother’s side of the Church for the Family Rosary. We will ask
Mary for her special intercession and protection for St. Francis
Marriages and Families during her month.
