Individual Meets God

Sunday, October 25, 10:30 Mass to Celebrate Our Parish

October is the ”Month of the Rosary”. In Octo-

ber we celebrate the memorial of our Lady of the

Rosary. This is a special feast for our Parish

Family. We are a “Marian Parish”. Our title is

Our Lady of the Rosary. Mary, Mother of God is

our great patron. That’s why we have the privi-

lege to celebrate in October in a very special

way.

The amazing choir from Saint Andrew's Regional High School will join us to cel-

ebrate our Parish Feast. Let us come to-

gether on Sunday October 25th for the 10:30 am

Mass and thank you Mary, Our Mother, for her

presence in our lives. Let us ask for Her inter-

cession. Let our God help us build together our

parish family. Let us invite our friends!

Prayer to the Holy Family

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, in you we contemplate

the splendour of true love, to you we turn with trust.

Holy Family of Nazareth, grant that our families too

may be places of communion and prayer, authentic

schools of the Gospel and small domestic Churches.

Holy Family of Nazareth, may families never

again experience violence, rejection and division:

may all who have been hurt

or scandalized find ready comfort and healing.

Holy Family of Nazareth, may the approaching

Synod of Bishops make us once more mindful

of the sacredness of the family,

and its beauty in God’s plan.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, graciously hear

our prayer! Amen.
