Month of Mary

When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting the infant leapt in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, "Most Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb". October is the month of Mary. Have you said your rosary today? We as Catholics need to pray for peace and unity through out the world. You can join us on Thursday mornings after the 8:00 a.m. Mass or before the Saturday evening Mass. Please use these opportunities for prayer.
