Thank You for Making Grandparents' Day a Success!
A message from our principal
The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary. Saturday, October 7, is the Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary.
According to an account by fifteenth-century Dominican, Alan de la Roch, Mary appeared to St. Dominic in 1206 after he had been praying and doing severe penances because of his lack of success in combating the Albigensian heresy. Mary praised him for his valiant fight against the heretics and then gave him the Rosary as a mighty weapon, explained its uses and efficacy, and told him to preach it to others.
May we say “yes” to God as our Blessed Mother did throughout her life.
Peace in Christ,
Dr. John Shreve
