Rosary 8:30 am / Mass 9 am. Celebrating Saturday as the day of Mary, has been a devotion in the Church for at least 1300 years. Our Lady of Fatima asked the visionaries to pray a five Saturday devotion in reparation for sins against her Immaculate Heart. Specifically, she asks for four actions: (1) go to Confession, (2) receive Communion, (3) recite the Rosary, and (4) meditate 15 minutes on one of the mysteries of the Rosary. You're welcome to take part in the Rosary and Mass even if you don’t want to enter into this devotion. A pamphlet will be available to guide you in fulfilling it.
