May 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 our Catholic identity. To honour Our Mother Mary, during the month of May 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. The Rosary also is said in English at 7:20am in DBIS Hall before the 8am Mass on Sundays throughout the year.
