Our Lady asks us to pray the Rosary daily both as a means for growing in Christ and for defense against the enemy. While many Catholics recite the beautiful prayers of the Rosary each day, it is a sad truth that the practice is fading from Catholic life. At the same time, we are losing our knowledge of the history of this devotion and how to practice it in public.
It is time to reverse this trend! Please join us on December 2 at 6:00pm for a reception, Rosary and lecture focused on revitalizing and expanding the prayer of the Rosary at St. Mary’s and within the broader Catholic community. We will be joined by Fr. Dominic Legge, a world-class speaker at the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C.
The evening is sponsored by the Fitzgerald Council of the Knights of Columbus, the daily Rosary group at St. Mary’s, the Catholic Daughters of the Americas, and That Man is You!.
