Our Lady of the Holy Rosary

October 7

he feast of the Holy Rosary was established by St. Pius

V on the anniversary of the naval victory won by the Christian fleet at Lepanto against the forces

of the Ottoman Empire on October 7, 1571. The victory was attributed to the help of the Holy Mother of God whose aid was invoked through praying the Rosary. The celebration of this day invites all to mediate upon the mysteries of Christ, following the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary who was so singularly associated with the incarnation, passion and glorious resurrection of the Son of God.

“Could you not watch one hour with Me?”

Matthew 26, 40

Forty Hours Devotion

On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, October 17th, 18th and 19th, we will hold our annual Forty Hours Eucharistic Devotion. This is a large undertaking for a small parish with people spread out all over the Delaware Valley and beyond. The main purpose of this Devotion is to give solemn honor and praise to our Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament. This is done by beautiful Masses, Processions, devotions and quiet prayer. Please start planning now. Every parishioner should participate each day in some aspect of the 40 Hours. We especially need people to sign up for adoration times at night so that there is someone in the Chapel every hour of Exposition. This year, we will once again have the full 40-hours of adoration, which means that adoration will continue overnight on Friday and Saturday. Look for sign-up sheets in the Narthex.

Catholic Apologetics Series

Join us for an eight session apologetics class, beginning in October and continuing through May on

the first Sunday of each month.
