October is the month of the Holy Rosary. St. Bernadette, who received visions of Our Lady at Lourdes said “I have found no surer way to maintain a spirit of recollection and peace of heart than to meditate on the mysteries of the Rosary.”
All parents are invited to come to Bedell Commons every Monday in October to pray the rosary for our children before dismissal.
If you're picking your child up, come early at 2:20, and we will pray the rosary together! If you can't make it, there are many rosary options on Hallow to pray!
