Praying the Rosary

"Of course, the Rosary belongs to every month, but in October the Church celebrates this prayer in a special way: reminding us of its simple beauty and gentle power. It is a time of grace for us to return to this prayer if we have let it slip away: or perhaps to discover for the first time, in the company of Mary, how the Rosary can guide us into unpretentious prayer". (Bishop Michael McKenna, Bathurst, Australia)

Knights of Columbus:
Free Rosaries and pamphlets are available near the entrances at both Assumption and Resurrection, compliments of the Knights of Columbus, Bishop McQuaid Council. The Knights of Columbus invite all parishioners to to join them in demonstrating devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by praying the Rosary daily for peace in our lives, our communities, and our world. The Knights will lead the Rosary before every Mass on October 30 & 31, as they do every month.

Thursday Night Prayer Group:
All are invited to this group which meets  every Thursday at 6 pm in the chapel at Assumption to pray the rosary in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. The prayer group consists of men and women of all ages and we pray for the intentions of our families, our parish, our communities, and for requests listed in the bulletin and requested through the parish office. Come any time and bring a friend! Rosaries are available for those who need them and we welcome all, including those new to praying the rosary!
