Rosary Society

The Rosary Society fosters devotion to Mary through prayer, and good works for causes that would be dear to her heart.

The St. Mary's Rosary Society is an organization for women of our parish who are devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary.  Its primary purpose is to encourage the prayer of the Rosary; to promote fellowship, support, and spirituality among its members; and to generously donate our time, talent, and treasure to causes and needs within our parish.

We are, truly, women  -- of Prayer:  by striving to pray the Rosary at least weekly, and to bring awareness of the special graces that Our Lady’s Rosary can bring.

-- who Share: by enjoying many activities and events throughout the year, with opportunities for prayer, support, and friendship.

-- who Care: by helping to donate to worthy causes where needed in our parish, mostly from the proceeds of our single annual fundraiser, our Christmas Dinner.

Monthly meetings, are held at 10:00 AM in the St. John Paul II Room of the Parish Ministry Center on Fridays, the following dates for 2022-2023:

October 14,  November 18, December 9, February 10, March 10, April 14, and May 12.

Refreshments will be served, and all are welcome to attend. Dates will appear in the weekly parish bulletin, and reminders will be sent to members via email.

The Rosary Society welcomes all women who are registered parishioners of St. Mary’s (in good standing).

Prospective members, those women who wish to learn more about our group, are encouraged to attend our “New Members Breakfast,” held each March. The next date for this event is Friday, March 10, 2023 at 10:30 AM in the St. John Paul II Room (immediately following the regular meeting at 10:00 AM).  All are welcome.

New members are inducted at a special Mass at the Church of Saint Mary each April (in conjunction with our Communion Brunch). The upcoming Induction Mass and Communion Brunch is planned for  Saturday, April 22, 2023.

Please contact Marijo Lantier at 917-496-5640 or by E-mail. for questions or additional information. Participation in any of our events is open to all.
