Prayer for the Week

Our Lady of the Rosary October is known as the month of the Rosary, a special prayer that Catholics pray asking Mary to pray with us for the things that we want her to take to present to her son, Jesus. Let us think of one thing we would like to pray for in a moment of silence, whether it be someone we know who isnt well or to say thank you for doing well in a test or simply just to know God better. We pray together, Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen
