Suck it up, pray the Rosary!

Take the Rosary Challenge--the YG (parents included) is trying to pray 2,000 decades of the Rosary during the month of October!  We will be keeping tally each week at youth group and if we reach our goal, there will be a pizza party on Friday, Oct. 30th.  SOOO....grab your rosary and get praying!  If we each pray at least 3 decades each day, we will reach our goal!

Feel free to comment here to add to the tally.  Every decade helps!

October is Month of the Rosary

Pope Pius V started the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary in 1573 in thanksgiving to Our Lady for protecting Christianity from the Turks.  Since then, generations of Catholics have come to love the Rosary!  October 7th marks the actual feast day, but the entire month of October has been dedicated to the Rosary.

In honor of the Rosary, the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception is hosting a special art exhibit of the mysteries of the Rosary in art.  More info on the Art Exhibit here, it is open through Nov. 2nd.  Take a family trip!
