Resource of the Month

To Jesus Through Mary by Peggy Olds

"This family Rosary manual will help you and your children to share the beauty of the Rosary and grow in love and appreciation of Jesus and Mary.

Saying a decade or an entire Rosary daily gives a strong message to a child that God’s role in the family is paramount and that the child is an important part of the family unit and God’s family."
