Rosary Altar Society
The Rosary Altar Society
meets the first Saturday of every month after the 8 a.m.
Mass. Recitation of the Rosary and Novena to Our Lady of
Perpetual Help begins at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday. All
parishioners, both men and women, are invited to join.
We also recite the Rosary every Sunday before the 9 a.m.
Mass. The Rosary is the story of Our Lord's life
arranged for us by His mother. The Rosary is a form of
prayer which reminds us of all the landmarks in Christ's
life. Reciting the Rosary is a way to live our faith and
to renew our hope in every way.
