The Month of the Holy Rosary

Published Friday 1 November 2024

During October, The Month of the Holy Rosary, Caroline Moulinet, Lay Chaplain joined schools across the Saint John Southworth Catholic Academy Trust to pray for our community. Staff and pupils have also been carrying out their own projects and prayer sessions.

The Catholic Life Ambassadors (CLAs) at St Augustine’s Catholic Primary School worked with pupils in a whole school assembly each week looking at the different mysteries on rotation. Parents were also invited to pray in the school prayer garden and say a decade of the rosary with the CLAs.

At Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School, Ms Evans, Head of Religious Education, led prayer sessions in the Chapel four times a week, around Mass. Worship Reps and Altar Servers from each year also gathered at lunch several times throughout the month to pray together.

The Pupil Chaplaincy Team at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School in Cheslea helped to lead Rosary assemblies for the Month of The Holy Rosary. During the month of October, Fr Shaun led a decade of the Rosary at Mass to celebrate Our Lady of The Rosary at St Mary’s Parish. Pupils presented prayers they had written and a large rosary they had made.

Similarly, Pupil Chaplains at St John XXIII Catholic Primary School joined parishioners to pray the Rosary for peace in White City. They also led each class in praying the Rosary so the whole school could join in Pope Francis’ call to pray for peace.

Every Tuesday and Thursday throughout October, Pupil Chaplains at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School in Maida Vale organised a Rosary Club to explain the Rosary to younger pupils and pray together.

During Daily Mass at St Thomas More Language College, Fr Anthony Homer encouraged the pupils to join him to pray the Rosary.
