NEW ROSARY GROUP in person — Our parish of St. Teresa of Kolkata is starting a new Rosary group which will meet every first Saturday of the month at 11:30AM at St. Catherine of Siena Church. This will be a bilingual gathering to pray the rosary and sing Marian hymns together. First Saturday devotions were first encouraged by Our Blessed Mother at Fatima. She would LOVE for us to come together to honor her and pray for Peace in our troubled world. She also encourages going to Confession on First Saturdays which we have every Saturday from noon-12:30 at the St. Catherine church site. Please plan on joining us to pray for peace that only heaven can help us to achieve. Fr. Jim To Jesus through Mary
