Over the past few years you were invited to participate in our annual "Living Rosary" event as beads. Many of you either participated as a bead or attended this prayer service event with us. Some of you have expressed an interest in participating again this year. We invite you again to consider praying with us on Friday, October 7th, the Feast Day of Our Lady of the Rosary.
The Rosary will begin with the "Ave Maria" sung as a prelude at 5:45pm, with the Rosary beginning immediately after about 6:00pm This is the ninth year of this event and every year it gets better and better attended. We would like to fill the church, so invite your friends and neighbors.
As we pray many of you pray in your native tongue. We are planning to include this again as it is just so moving and is so universal. So let me know if you will pray in another language.
We DO NOT have enough beads at this late date. Please pray about it and let us know if you would like to participate as a "Living Bead" by responding here
IMMEDIATELY to this email or through the links on the upper left. We are making the list and preparing the brochure. We would love for you to be a part of this event once again.
We are asking that you get to the church to help us place you by 5:15pm or try no later than 5:30pm. It is earlier than usual for this event because it is also First Friday and we will have Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament at 7pm.
Thank you so much for praying with us in the past and again. I may not have formally thanked everyone who prayed over the years, but do know that I pray for you and always have you in my heart in prayer, gratitude and love. Mother Mary is always so pleased as we honor her in this extra special way on her Feast day every October and Jesus hears our prayers through her intercession even more intensly when we pray in unity and ask Mary to lay our prayers at His feet.
I will update all the beads who accept this invitation with details for the procession, music, etc. on Thursday so please check your emails.
