As a Catholic school named after the patron feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we have a great devotion to Mary. We ask for her prayers on our behalf to her Son, Jesus. It is much the same as asking for any one of our family members or friends to pray for us for any particular need or concern. The rosary is a traditional Catholic prayer involving the recitation of the “Our Father” and the “Hail Mary,” beginning first with the realization that all our prayers are directed first and foremost to the Father. The “Hail Mary” is a reminder of the greeting the angel gave to Mary when she first received news that she would bear the Christ, followed by the request that Mary pray for us “now… (in our time of petition and need) and at the hour of our death.”
Our Living Rosary devotion is a way of helping our students physically express that prayer.
