• In addition to Respect Life Month, the month of October is dedicated to the Most Holy Rosary. October was the month in which Mary appeared for the last time to shepherd children in Fatima, Portugal, urging them to “say the rosary every day to obtain peace for the world.”

      Pope Leo XIV has invited all the faithful to pray a daily rosary during the month of October for personal peace, peace in our families, and in our communities.

      In celebration of the month, several parishes in the Diocese of Portland plan to hold Rosary gatherings. for more information, visit https://portlanddiocese.org/celebrating-month-holy-rosary
