Pray a Decade of the Rosary Prior to all Masses in May.
May is considered the month of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the life of the church. According to tradition, St. Domnic was given the rosary by the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1214. Since then it has been considered one of the Catholic Church’s most powerful tools of prayer. Pope Francis encourages all the faithful to rediscover the beauty of praying the rosary.
