The intercessory ministry invites you to be part of the chain rosary and join us for our intercessory meeting on the fourth saturday of every month, 4pm - 5pm at San Damiano Chapel (located within St.Mary Church) where we will have a short spiritual input and pray the scriptural rosary together. The intercessory meetings are open to all, so drop by anytime if you are free!:) Contact Elizabeth for more details.

The purpose of the chain rosary is to continuously lift up the intentions of the community to our Father and with the help of our Blessed Mother through the Most Holy Rosary. The idea is that every day for each week, there will be someone praying the rosary. What you can do is to choose a day of the week, say every Monday, to pray the rosary. Henceforth, you will be scheduled to pray the rosary every monday. Please contact Elizabeth if you are interested so that she can keep you in the chain rosary mailing list.
