As we observe Memorial Day 2023. and honor those who gave their lives in the service and protection of our country, please also celebrate our Ranger Rosaries Group. These members make rosaries which are distributed to active and veteran members of America’s armed services. The St. Mary’s group was recognized recently by the National Association for Ranger Rosaries:
“Your two boxes were located. We have received the 500 rosaries shipped on March 8 and 22, (2023). Thank you for all the hard work your volunteers have put into making these rosaries. This year is our 20th anniversary of Ranger Rosary’s establishment. God bless and thank you for your support.” - Mari Brady, Coordinator, Ranger Rosary Inc.
Thanks to our Rosarians who participate in this worthwhile ministry. If you are interested in joining this group, please contact us at rosarysociety@stmary.ws for more information.
Monday May 29th - Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church
In 2018, Pope Francis declared the Monday after Pentecost the day to celebrate Mary as the Mother of the Church. As Catholics honor Mary as the Mother of the Church, especially being linked to the great Feast of Pentecost, it is a remembrance of Mary’s prayerful presence with the apostles in the upper room. Mary was among them as the Holy Spirit descended upon all on Pentecost. Mary, Mother of the Church, Pray for Us!
