The perpetual rosary
The perpetual rosary
In each month's newsletter is the list of members assigned to the Perpetual Rosary. A rosary is recited every day of the year by one of our Catholic Daughters for an end to abortion, peace in families, and religious freedom in our country. Please make an extra effort to pray the rosary each day of the week you are assigned.

PRAYER for canonization of charlene richard
PRAYER for canonization of charlene richard
Our Father in Heaven, moved by the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ, Your Son and our Savior, we lift up our hearts to You and ask that, if it be Your will, You grant our request. May Your servant and native of Louisiana, Charlene Marie Richard, be raised to sainthood by the Holy Father, Successor of the Apostle St. Peter, and visible head of Jesus' Church on earth.
We entrust this prayer to You through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of Jesus, under her title by which she is known as the Patroness of Louisiana: The Immaculate Conception.
Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory Be
