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.

Meetings are held  most months in the St. John Paul II Room of the Parish Ministry Center on Wednesdays. The  dates for 2024-2025 are as follows:

November 6 at 6:15pm
December 11 at 6:15pm
February 5 at 6:15pm
March 12 at 6:15 PM
April 9 - Time TBD
May 7 at 6:15pm

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 Wednesday, April 9, 2025, 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 Sunday, May 4, 2025.
