Rosary Groups

Those devoted to praying the Rosary have several choices for coming together at Saint Agnes.  We have the following weekly and monthly opportunities, none of which require “membership” other than to come and join in prayer together!

1. Weekly, before the 4:30 p.m. Saturday vigil Mass; the Rosary starts about 4:10 p.m.
2. Weekly, we pray the “Rosary for our Country” during which we use the “Hail Mary’s” to pray for each of our 50 states and the decades/”Our Father’s” to pray for the branches of government, local and national.
3. Monthly, on the 13th of each month in honor of the miracle at Fatima, we pray the “13th of the Month Rosary” which is held outdoors when weather permits at the statue of Mary and the “Rosary Walk” directly across from the Rectory.  The time fluxuates with the seasons but is usually at 7 or 8 p.m.

Check the bulletin, the “Thursday I & I” (Information and Inspiration) that comes to your mailbox from Flocknote, or call the parish office at 724-863-2626 for more information on any of the above opportunities to come together for this most powerful way of praying.
