Rosary of the Seven Sorrows
On the feast of the Agony of the Blessed Virgin Mary, June 8th, the Apostleship of Prayer will pray the Rosary of the Seven Sorrows of Mary before the 4 p.m. Divine Liturgy. We will begin at 3:15 p.m.
This rosary relfects the seven sorrows in Mary's life taken from scripture. It is prayed on a special rosary. Seven Sorrow Rosary beads will be available for those who wish to join in the prayers.
Apostleship of Prayer celebrated 100 years of service to the parish on June 1!
Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us on June 1. The Divine Liturgy was inspirational, and the dinner that followed included a delicious buffet, good fellowship, and a lot of fun.
Thank you to the Holy Name members who led us in the procession into the church and to all the friends and family who came.
