The month of October is dedicated to the Most Holy Rosary.
The Rosary is prayed daily, Monday to Friday, at 7:30 a.m. in the church prior to the 8 a.m. Mass.
Each Wednesday during the month of October, at 7 p.m., our Catholic Women's League will lead us in praying the Rosary in the parish hall.
Each Tuesday during the month of October, at 7 p.m., the Knights of Columbus, Council 1652, will be praying the Rosary at their downstairs lounge at 6101 North Street, Niagara Falls. (Light refreshments follow the rosary prayers.)
The liturgical feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is celebrated on October 7th. It was instituted to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary in gratitude for the protection that she gives the Church in answer to the praying of the Rosary by the faithful.
The feast was introduced by Pope St. Pius V (1504-1572) in the year 1571 to commemorate the miraculous victory of the Christian forces in the Battle of Lepanto on October 7, 1571. The pope attributed more to the "arms" of the Rosary than the power of cannons and the valor of the soldiers who fought there.
A useful guide to how to pray the Rosary is provided by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops here.
