Our Lady of Fatima
The Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, October 13th
On this day, we celebrate the apparition of Mary who appeared to three children in a small town in Portugal in 1916. The woman asked them to pray and devote themselves to the Holy Trinity and to “say the Rosary every day, to bring peace to the world and an end to the war”.

October is Rosary month
On Tuesday, October 15, we will have an all-school rosary service at 11:00 am. All are invited to join us.
Legend tells us that the Rosary, as a form of prayer, was given to St. Dominic (1170-1221) by Mary, the Mother of Our Lord. She entrusted it to him as an aid in the conflicts. The Dominican Pope, St. Pius V, did much to further the spread of the Rosary and thereafter, it became one of the most popular devotions in Christendom. It was the same Pope St. Pius V, who in 1569 officially approved the Rosary in its present form.
