Welcome back for term four. A term that is full
of special Catholic events.
Feast Days
All Saints and All Souls Day
Advent the preparation for Christmas
It is all happening this term.
The month of October each year is dedicated to the Holy
Rosary
The Rosary is based on the incidents in the
life of Jesus and Mary.
Many are
rediscovering the beauty and spiritual benefit of this meditative practice.
The use of beads or knotted ropes to count
large numbers of prayers comes from the earliest days of Christianity. However,
this way of prayer precedes Christianity. The development of the rosary as we
know it today has gone through many stages. Christian Monks used this method to
pray the Psalms. Today the rosary consists of in total150 Hail Marys, divided into three
sets of 50, which are further divided into five sets of 10 (a decade). Many
people pray 1 set.
God Bless
