Please join us in praying the Rosary together for the conversion of hearts so that the tragedy of abortion will become unthinkable. The overturn of Roe v Wade was definitely prayer answered, but not the end of our fight for the sanctity of all life. We need to remain diligent in prayer. This is a "Living Rosary" in that it is prayed with each person that participates praying either an "Our Father" (in English) or a "Hail Mary" in the language of their choice. Participants sit in the church pews forming a "Living Rosary". We light the participant’s candle as the "bead" is prayed. After the Rosary, we process with our lighted candles to the Meditation Garden to sing a closing Marian hymn. Light refreshments are served in Seton Hall immediately afterwards.
