CHRIST THE KING PARISH

Wednesday, October 7th, is the Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary

On Oct. 7, the Church celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, a feast that reminds us of the power of prayer, especially in times of trial. In fact, it commemorates a naval battle in 1571 that many say was one of the most important in the history of the world and may have saved Western civilization.

The Rosary is a spiritual weapon and a source of hope, uniting Christians in trust and devotion to Mary, who always leads us to Her Son.

October: Month of the Holy Rosary

On October 7th, the Church celebrates the feast day of Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary. The feast day was established by Pope Saint Pius V on the anniversary of the victory at Lepanto on October 7, 1571. The naval victory was attributed to the Virgin Mary whose intercession was entreated through the recitation of the Holy Rosary.

The Church then proceeded to dedicate the entire month of October to the Holy Rosary so that individuals, families, and communities would pray the Holy Rosary, if possible, on a daily basis for peace in the world...
