Rosary
In October and May we celebrate the rosary. We pray the rosary together in class, building up from learning what the Hail May is in reception and saying one together, to saying a decade together in year 6. We have a rosary club where children come along in playtime with Brother Anthony to pray together.
The SJB messengers organised for every child in the school to be given a rosary and we used it to prayer together. Then at the end of the month we took it home to continue using there.
THE ROSARY
"To pray the Rosary for children and even more with children, training them from their earliest years to experience this daily 'pause for prayer' ...is a spiritual aid which should not be underestimated" Pope John Paul II
The month of October and May is dedicated to the Holy Rosary, one of the best known of all Catholic devotions. October includes the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary (October 7). The best way to celebrate the month is, of course, to pray the Rosary.
