The Catholic Church dedicates the month of October to the Holy Rosary. The feast of the Our Lady of the Rosary is on October 7th. The Holy Rosary is a prayer in which we meditate on the life of Jesus. Because of the mission that Mary received from God, her life was closely tied to Jesus. Mary's Immaculate Heart was always focused on the life of her son Jesus. When we pray the Rosary, we are asking Mary to pray for us that we might be more focused on the life of Jesus.

Congratulations to our September Timely Teen Trivia winner...Anna Dossett!

For the past five weeks (end of July/August), the Sunday gospel reading has been from what book and chapter? (Hint: It is known as the Bread of Life Discourse.) - The Gospel of John Chp.6

Join us for this 4 session look at how to discuss the Bible. In each session, we'll focus on one chapter that helps us better understand who Jesus is and the wisdom of Sacred Scripture.

We'll meet in the Resource Room 6:00 - 7:30 pm on the following Mondays: Oct. 21, Nov. 4, Nov.18, and Dec. 2.

I have difficulty choosing a "saint of the month" every month...they're all interesting and I'd love to highlight each one. To be honest...it is impossible for me to choose just one of the saints with a feast day in October. Several members of my personal "Saint Posse" are celebrated this month, so here is a list of their feast days. 😇Thank you for not making me choose just one.

October 1st - St. Therese of the Child Jesus, Doctor of the Church (aka St. Therese of Lisieux)

October 2nd - The Holy Guardian Angels

October 4th - St. Francis of Assisi

October 5th - St. Faustina Kowalska

October 15th - St. Teresa of Jesus, Doctor of the Church (aka St. Teresa of Avila)

October 22nd - St. Pope John Paul II
