SUMMARY:The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary
DESCRIPTION:You're invited to pray the Rosary with us on Oct. 7th at 7 pm i
 n the Blessed Sacrament Chapel.\n\nHow to Pray the Rosary (PDF)\n\nOctober
  7th&nbsp\;is the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. The Catholic Church cho
 se that day and\, apparently by extension\, the month of October\, to hono
 r Our Lady of the Rosary because a great victory took place on&nbsp\;Octob
 er 7...\n\nIn October 1571\, the Church in Europe faced a seemingly hopele
 ss challenge. The Muslim Turks had already conquered the Middle East\, sla
 ughtering millions and forcing the survivors to convert to Islam. They the
 n moved across the Mediterranean Sea\, taking the crucial islands of Crete
  and Cyprus. From these islands\, they set their sights on the Christian k
 ingdoms of the central Mediterranean\, threatening Sicily\, Venice\, and e
 ven Rome herself.\n\nPope Pius V called on the Christian princes of Europe
  to rally to defeat the Islamic threat. In addition\, he called on rosary 
 confraternities in Rome and all over Europe to undertake special processio
 ns and public recitation of the Rosary\, asking the intercession of the Bl
 essed Mother. What ensued was the famous Battle of Lepanto. The Christian 
 fleet was far outnumbered and appeared to have no&nbsp\;human&nbsp\;hope o
 f winning. On the first&nbsp\;Sunday&nbsp\;of October 1571\, the Christian
  fleet met the invading Muslims off the coast of Greece in the Gulf of Lep
 anto.\n\nAs Christians all over Europe prayed for Our Lady’s intercessio
 n\, the Turks surrounded the Christian ships. But the European fleet broke
  through. By day's end\, almost all of the Turks were driven to shore or d
 rowned. Europe was saved. Pope Pius established an annual commemoration to
  honor Our Lady of Victory\, and his successor\, Gregory XIII\, decreed th
 at the first&nbsp\;Sunday in October would be the Feast of the Holy Rosary
 .\n\nIf praying the rosary is new to you\, or if it has been a while\, ple
 ase do not feel embarrassed. You are not alone. Praying the rosary is very
  easy to do\, and there are simple guides available to walk you through th
 e prayers and decades. People can enjoy praying the rosary in groups\, as 
 a family\, a couple\, and alone... even while on a walk. You can click her
