The Rosary Society Members volunteer to pray the decade of the Rosary assigned to them. Each Rosary Circle consists of 20 members: Nine Circles or Roses, Four Mysteries each. Each member prays: 1 Our Father, 10 Hail Mary’s and 1 Glory be for the assigned mystery the Rosary card represents. It is called “Living Rosary” or Rosary Society Circle. Each member can offer prayers for personal daily needs, for those of the Parish or for the Poor Souls in Purgatory.
The Rosary is also prayed every day 30 minutes before each Mass and also from Monday to Friday at the Grotto/Church at 2:30 PM.
The Rosary Society due ($1 per capita) is for monthly Masses on the First Friday at 7:30 AM and if possible for other needs in the Parish. Mass is offered for all living and deceased members of the Rosary Society. Starting January 1, 2026 the Chairperson of St. Mary’s Rosary Society is Mary Kujawa and the secretary is Lorraine Johnson.
