October 2022
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary. Individuals, families, and communities are invited to pray the Holy Rosary, if possible, on a daily basis for peace in the world, and for the intentions of the Virgin Mary. To read "What is the Rosary" click here. To read "How to Pray the Rosary" click here.

We continue the 40 days for Life this month, look for ways you can support life programs, honor creation, and respect the dignity of human life from conception until natural death. Here is a link to Walking with Moms in Need, look for other ways to help and pray for those who are struggling.

Please let us know how we can better serve you and your parish as we carry out our mission of evangelization to help parishes bring people to an encounter with Christ and a deeper appreciation of the Catholic faith, igniting a joyful witness of their faith to others. (contact us at Family@diocesepb.org)

May God's Mercy and Peace be with you,

Cathy, Deacon Louie, Beth, Liliana, Andy, Erika, Cindy and Rosario
