Our Lady of the Rosary

History: This commemorative feast was established by Saint Pius V on the anniversary of the naval victory won by the Christian fleet at Lepanto. The victory was attributed to the help of the holy Mother of God whose aid was invoked through paying the rosary. The celebration of this day invites all to meditate upon the mysteries of Christ, following the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary who was so singularly associated with the incarnation, passion and glorious resurrection of the Son of God. This feast is celebrated on October 7th.

Prayer: Holy and immaculate Virgin Mary, you are the glorious Queen of the world; may all who celebrate your feastday know the help of your prayers.
