The Rosary- to Mary with love

Thursday (13th May) was the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. To celebrate this lovely feast, and give a 'little something' to our beautiful Mother, we gathered for a Rosary in the Cathedral, kneeling at the foot of Her shrine. We all took a turn saying a decade.

The Rosary has been Mary's favourite prayer since the 12th Century. That's the 1300's- how ancient is that!!
But despite being old, the Rosary has never gone out of date. In fact, devotion to praying it has spread, though the 'Rosary' they said hundreds of years ago is a little different to the one people say worldwide today.

AND if you're really sad that you didn't get to join us, don't worry!! October is the month of the Rosary, (May being the month of Mary) and we're planning some amazing things for that- we'll post as we get them figured out.
God bless you!
