About the Holy Rosary

The Holy Rosary is a powerful prayer devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It consists of five decades, each decade comprising one Our Father, ten Hail Marys, and one Glory Be. By meditating on the mysteries of Christ's life during the recitation of the Rosary, we grow deeper in our faith and draw closer to Jesus through the intercession of His Holy Mother. Select a day below to begin your rosary.

Sign of the Cross

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Apostles' Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
