The Rosary is a meditative prayer rooted in Scripture and centred on the life of Jesus Christ through the eyes of His Blessed Mother. With its rhythmic repetition and focus on divine mysteries, the Rosary invites us to draw closer to Christ in peace, love, and trust.
“The Rosary is the weapon for these times.” — St. Padre Pio
The word rosary means “garland of roses,” symbolising a spiritual bouquet offered to Mary. Each prayer bead guides our heart through contemplation, as we bring before God our joys, sorrows, and hopes.

Why Pray the Rosary?
In every season of life—joy or grief, solitude or celebration—the Rosary grounds us in Christ. It is a refuge for the suffering, a song of thanksgiving, and a quiet path to peace.
“There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult… that cannot be solved by the Rosary.” — Sister Lucia of Fatima
