​​Monday Evening Rosary Group

Picture


​MISSION STATEMENT 
Sharing a belief in the power of group prayer to deepen faith by lifting up intentions while meditating upon the Mysteries of the Holy Rosary. 
​

2022 VISION STATEMENT 
Encouraging kinship and strengthening devotion to the Mysteries of the ancient Holy Rosary prayers through individuals’ intentions of faith and gratitude.

History of the Group

The history of the Monday Evening Rosary Group began with one member’s personal journey of faith in Medjugorje in October 2014. In search of an antidote for a broken heart, founder Katy Egan returned from her pilgrimage with a peaceful heart filled with a devotion for the Blessed Mother. Katy’s friendship with Beth Marek, OSP Director of Outreach, gave guidance to their desire to share the message of the Blessed Mother “Queen of Peace” with OSP parishioners. The Rosary Group met for the first time April 20, 2015 to pray the Holy Rosary as a group.  The Rosary Group met monthly in person until the Covid Pandemic impacted the World in early 2020. Despite this challenge, the members have grown in number and devotion with Zoom providing a safe and convenient way to pray every Monday evening.

Why do we pray the Rosary?

Picture
The purpose of the Holy Rosary is to help us meditate on the great mysteries of our salvation. The ancient prayers of The Our Father joined together with the five decades of The Hail Mary remind us that Mary was and is joined with her Son in all the mysteries of his earthly and heavenly existence. 

These simple, meditative repetition of prayers help us to focus on the Mysteries - the Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and Luminous. They weave together a story of the lives of Jesus and his mother Mary. This awareness can be transformative, especially when shared in the setting of group prayer.

The Holy Rosary has a long history. It has been officially approved since declaration by Pope Leo X in 1520. The Blessed Mother herself selected the title of “Our Lady of the Rosary” when she appeared at Fatima in 1917. Her message was “I want you to continue saying your rosary every day in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary to obtain the end of the war and peace in the world. 
​

The Holy Rosary has been featured prominently in the messages of many Marian apparitions around the world such as those in Medjugorje, Fatima and Lourdes. The message again and again is Pray the Rosary.
