October is the Month of
Our Lady of the Rosary
This special devotion teaches us about the close relationship between Mary and her son, Jesus Christ. Praying the rosary invites us to join into that relationship, nurturing our faith & deepening our understanding of who Jesus Christ is for the World. We ask that you join us in praying for peace in each of our hearts & families, in our community & nation, and in the world.

“The family is the fundamental cell of society,
where we learn to live with others despite our differences and to belong to one another;
it is also the place where parents pass on the faith to their children.”

Catechesis from Greek means to “echo” our faith. Please join us in praying for our catechists and pray for those who God is calling to join us in this ministry. “Jesus did not call volunteers to do a job but he called disciples to answer God’s call of service to God and the Church” (Pope Francis, Symposium on Catechesis, July 2017). Do you feel called to join our faith formation team? If so, please contact Lori Mascia lmascia.stclare@att.net for required interview, background & reference check, training and support.
