May is the month dedicated to Mary, the patroness of our parish! We can call on her to pray for us, particularly in the prayer of the rosary. We call it a ‘rosary’ because it’s like giving her a bouquet of roses! Have you told her lately that you love her? Give her a rose today, that is the Hail Mary. Pray just one. On the next day, try giving her two Hail Marys. Try three Hail Marys the next day. Then, follow up with ten Hail Marys, that is one decade of the rosary. Keep giving that decade of roses to Mary each day, especially on Mother’s Day!
Join us as we commemorate the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ!
