Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary

On October 7, sixth-graders at Sacred Heart Patterson enacted the Luminous mysteries for a Live Rosary in honor of the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Each student with their beads in hand followed along as students took turns leading a reflection. The room was remarkably absent of chatter and noise aside from the steady recitation of prayer and sacred music.

Devotion to the Blessed Mother is one thing that sets Catholic schools apart from other private schools. Teaching this prayer subsequently teaches the life of Jesus. It also encourages quiet reflection, self-regulation, and, most importantly, a relationship with God.

Many Catholic schools throughout the Stockton Diocese celebrate the Month of the Rosary with rosary-making activities, processions, even giant balloon rosaries.
