"Through Mary to Jesus"
The tradition of the Rosary is closely associated with Saint Dominic. According to a long-standing Catholic tradition, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to St. Dominic in 1208 and encouraged him to preach and spread the Rosary as a means of conversion and peace.
Devotion to Our Lady of the Holy Rosary is centered on honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary by praying the Rosary and meditating on the mysteries of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Although some of the prayers are addressed to Mary, the Rosary is ultimately a Christ-centered prayer that leads us to a deeper relationship with Jesus. Through Mary's loving guidance and intercession, we are invited to contemplate the face of Christ, imitate His virtues, and grow in faith, hope, and charity.

Prayer to Saint Joseph

Obtain for us from God the grace to imitate your virtues, especially your humility, obedience, purity, and unwavering trust in His providence. Protect our families, guide our work, and help us to remain faithful to God’s will. Amen.
Patron Saints
“The saints are our companions on the journey of faith; through their intercession, we are strengthened and encouraged to draw closer to Christ. Moreover, the saints are living examples of holiness, inspiring us to imitate their virtues, remain faithful to the Gospel, and grow continually in our love for God. Through the lives of the saints, we discover that the path to holiness begins with a heart that loves God, seeks union with Him, and generously responds to His call in our daily lives.”
