October - Month of the Rosary
The Month of the Holy Rosary
In October, our attention turns to the Holy Rosary.
Rosary beads are used to help Catholics count their prayers. Catholics often pray the rosary to make a request to God, some to thank God for blessings received or for requesting a special favour, for example if someone is sick to help them recover.
Each year group from year 2 to year 5 have their own mystery to focus upon.
Year 2 focus on the joyful mysteries
Year 3 focus on the luminous mysteries
Year 4 focus on the sorrowful mysteries
Year 5 focus on the glorious mysteries
Year 6 contemplate all of the mysteries.
We gather together to pray across the whole world, asking Mary our mother to intercede for us.
