Month of the Rosary

First Saturday Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, October 4 at St. Mary's Church:

The monthly First Saturday Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary takes place at St. Mary's, after the Saturday, October 4th 9:00 AM Mass. We will pray the Holy Rosary with scriptural meditation, hear Mary's message given at Fatima, and offer prayers to The Immaculate Heart of Mary to grow closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and in reparation for sacrileges against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

A priest will be available after 9 AM Mass for the Sacrament of Penance.
