On October 7, we celebrate the yearly feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Before the battle of Lepanto in 1571, Pope St Pius V requested all the faithful pray the rosary. The Christian were victorious and the day was later established as a feast in honor of Our Blessed Mother. Take a few minutes to pray the rosary today in gratitude for the protection of our Church.
