Dear Friends,
The month of October is traditionally dedicated to the Holy Rosary. As Catholics, we gather as families and as a Parish community to pray the Rosary, seeking the intercession of Mary, the Mother of Jesus and our Mother. I encourage all of us to be soldiers of the Rosary, praying for peace in our hearts and in our troubled world. Let us also remember in our prayers the members of our Parish who are struggling with sickness and their loved ones.
With every blessing,
Fr. Theo
