Farewell, and Good Luck, Rachel!

 We had a celebration to wish our fellow Sodalist, Rachel, the best of luck as she prepared to enter religious life. 

Pray for us, Rachel!  We are so proud of you and we will all be praying for you!

December 8th - the Immaculate Conception -- Patronnes of America!

 

Thou art all fair, O Mary,

The Original Stain is not in thee.

Thou art the glory of Jerusalem,

Thou, the joy of Israel,

Thou, the great honor of our people

Favorite prayers to honor Our Lady on this feast:

By Thy Immaculate Conception, O Mary, make my body pure and my soul holy! 

(3x with Hail Mary)

O, Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee!

Holy Souls Visits - Nov. 1st, 2021

 On November 1st, The feast of all Saints, we hit the ground running for the Holy Souls by starting our visits right at Noon. Our goal as a Sodality was to reach at least 75 visits, but after an hour of intense prayer, we blew that marker by hitting 141 visits!!! Who knew you could get so much excercise making Holy Souls visits! Great job Ladies!... and the Mom and Sisters who joined :).

                                                                        Making Visits....

                                                                     .... and more visits...

                               We made 141 Holy Souls Visits in one hour! :)

 Dear Fellow Sodalists,

We are Most Holy Rosary Sodality from Middleville, MI. We have a small group of girls ranging from 7 to 14 years old, but we like being Our Lady's hands in Our Parish here at Most Holy Rosary. We are all pretty close... well in fact we are all Sisters, but that doesn't stop us from being the best Sodalists we can possibly be. We are so excited to be able to connect with all of you on this blog site!

Thank you, Blessed Mother ... and please continue to watch over, guide and inspire our Sodalists ... past, present, and future...for many years to come!
