October – Decade a Day 

Beginning the first day of Term 4 each grade will take turns and pray a decade of the Rosary. You to may like to do this in your homes. The Rosary helps us to see our human lives in the light of Christ. It is a prayer that can be prayed at any time; however its simplicity and repetition make the Rosary particularly helpful in life’s pauses, journeys and moments of waiting.
