Parish News and Events
Rosaries for Africa Project
Christians in Africa are being persecuted and they have requested rosaries to use as spiritual weapons against this evil.
The Legion of Mary is sponsoring an opportunity for parishes to send their spare rosaries to the people of Africa.
The rosaries, both blessed and unblessed, are distributed to schools, hospitals, prisons, and prayer groups free of charge. The rosaries will be sent directly to Africa by a gentleman who has been involved in this project since 2008.
A table will be set up in our church narthex on February 10- 20 for rosary donations. (Rosaries only, please).
Thank you in advance for your generosity!
