PERPETUAL ROSARY
MONDAY, OCTOBER 29

To honor our Blessed Mother during this month of October traditionally dedicated to the Rosary, students and staff will join together on Monday October 29 to pray a "Perpetual Rosary".  

The inner courtyard will be turned into a Rosary Prayer Garden for the day, and the Rosary will be perpetually prayed by OLPH students and teachers through the day.  

Please consider joining in the prayer of our community next Monday by praying your own Rosary sometime that day, even if it is praying one decade of the Rosary in the car on your way to work.  

The power of prayer is real, and the intercession of our Blessed Mother can bring miracles to our community and beyond.
