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 2023-2024:

October 13,  *November 8, December 15, 2023 
* Evening Meeting
February 9, March 8, April 12, and May 3, 2024 

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 Welcome Breakfast,” held each March. The next date for this event is Friday, April 12, 2024  in the St. John Paul II Room. All are welcome. Please refer to the Parish Bulletin for more information in early April.

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 20, 2024.
