Catholic Identity

October – The month of the Rosary

The month of October each year is always dedicated to the Rosary.   

This is due to the liturgical feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, 

being celebrated annually on October 7th.  

Pope John Paul II called the Rosary his favourite prayer, 

in which we meditate with Mary upon various scripture.  

“Mary treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart.” (Luke 2:19)

World Mission Month- October

October is World Mission Month, a time when we are called to support those less fortunate, especially in vulnerable communities abroad. To learn more and to support the important work of Catholic Mission please visit here. 

Please also share this prayer at home as we consider our calling to mission and to serving others.

Heavenly Father, 

Bless our school communities, particularly in these times which continue to challenge us. Bless our students and staff, our parents and families, our priests and parishioners, and all who work in our schools. 

We pray that your love might find a home there to provide safe haven for our young people, and enable them to grow in wisdom, compassion and grace. We pray that your justice might be lived here to instil in our young people the inspiration to create God’s Kingdom through their hands and hearts and minds. Amen.
