October is the Month of The Blessed Virgin Mary and the Holy Rosary
All Catholics are encouraged to pray the Rosary daily and make it part of their spiritual lives. The Rosary is a Christocentric prayer. It has all the depth of the Gospel message in its entirety. It is hoped that every Catholic will always have the rosary prayer beads on their person – making the sign of the cross and the rosary are unique symbols of your Catholic identity. To honour Our Mother Mary, during the month of October Rosary will be said before the 9:00am Mass at 8:30am in Chinese at the covered playground at the main entrance of the school.
Appeal for Donaltions
The Little Sisters of the Poor will appeal for donations on Saturday and Sunday, the 5th and 6th November 2011, to support the Home for the Aged in Sheung Shui. Please kindly show our support as in previous years.
