2. Special Character Week 3 Term 4 2022

In the year 835 AD the Roman Catholic Church made the 1st November a church holiday to honour all the saints. This feast day is called All Saints' Day. The Feast of All Saints is celebrated to honour all the saints known and unknown.  This is followed on the 2^nd November by the Feast of All Souls.  On All Souls' Day, the Roman Catholic Church remembers all those who have died - not just the great and the good, but ordinary and especially those loved ones. On this special day, we pray for those who have died, that they ‘may rest in peace’.

Annually these days remind us of our connectedness to the faithful and all those special to us, who have died.  All of them are honoured by the church.

More about the Rosary;

The repetition in the Rosary is meant to lead one into restful and contemplative prayer related to each Mystery. The gentle repetition of the words helps us to enter into the silence of our hearts, where Christ's spirit dwells. The Rosary can be said privately or with a group.

Try praying one decade of the Rosary as a family. Click this link to find out how!
