FAQs! Why do we pray the Rosary?

One might look upon the Rosary as a precious heirloom passed down through generations of our faith family. Essentially, it is a simple, repetitive prayer by which we reflect on the life, death, and glorification of Christ through the eyes and heart of his mother, Mary. According to a tradition that dates back to the 15th century, St Dominic founded the devotion to the Rosary. Other evidence, however, suggests that it developed gradually, especially under the influence of the Cistercian and Dominican religious orders. The Rosary is one way we can prayerfully contemplate the mysteries of our faith.
