PRAY THE ROSARY: For over 500 years, the Rosary has served as a visible Catholic symbol of devotion in honor of the virgin Mary. The word"Rosary" comes from the Latin word meaning a "crown or garland of roses". Each Hail Mary symbolizes the gift of a rose to our lady. While saying the Rosary, we join with Mary in our prayers to the Father. Mother Mary has promised us, " You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary".
