Polish Rosary Society
The primary purpose and goal of the Polish Living Rosary Prayer Groups is to praise and honor the Blessed Mother and to promote a greater devotion to the Rosary. In our parish we have two prayer groups - each group consisting of 20 persons who are responsible for praying one decade of the Rosary (1x Our Father, 10 x Hail Mary, 1x Glory Be) each day so, in this way, the full Rosary is being prayed every day.
On the first Sunday of every month, we gather in Church, after the Polish Mass, for prayer and to exchange the mysteries. We offer our prayers for the intentions of the Holy Father, for our personal daily needs and for those of the parish and the world.
We actively participate in the liturgical life of our parish in terms of devotions and processions in connection with feasts and holidays commemorated.
