WEEKLY BROADCAST FEATURED NEWS October is the month of the Rosary! A big connection is the liturgical feast of Our Lady of the Rosary that is celebrated on October 7th. It honors the Blessed Virgin Mary in gratitude for the protection she offers for the Church in answer to faithfully praying the rosary. On Wednesday we gathered together as a school community to pray the Living Rosary. Students were grouped and stood at each bead to lead everyone in the prayers. It was a beautiful way for students to learn about how and why we pray the rosary. We look forward to having you come for Conferences next week on Oct. 8th and 10th! Please make sure to look at all of the extra activities planned for next week (Conferences & Friends & Family Day)!!
