The Month of the Rosary

October is the month of the most Holy Rosary and the month of Mary. 

Why does God wish us to pray to Mary? 

We pray to Mary because she is the Mother of God and her prayers are very powerful. When we pray the Hail Mary we combine worship of God and honour of Mary. We combine both our prayers to God and her prayers to God. We do not worship Mary; we only worship God. When we pray to Mary we honour her as the Mother of God, and as our Spiritual Mother. If you get a chance this week you may like to pray the Rosary or a part of the Rosary with your children.

The Rosary is prayed Monday to Friday mornings at Our Lady of Lourdes Church Devonport at 12.30 a.m. Everyone is welcome to attend, just walk in and take a seat! 

Socktober

During the month of October, Catholic Mission is raising money for families in Ethiopia. Our school is participating through a crazy sock day. The children are allowed to wear crazy socks (not casual clothes) and are asked to bring a gold coin donation if possible. For more information regarding Socktober and the families in Ethiopia please visit the website: socktober.org.au

Your generosity would be greatly appreciated.
