October is one of the months of the year specifically dedicated to Our Lady and her intercession. The entire Saber family is invited and encouraged to join us in saying the rosary outside STM on Sunday, October 25, at 4:00 p.m. Father Pica will lead us in the rosary as we pray specifically for unity in America and a greater respect for all human life from conception until natural death, in honor of Respect Life Month. We hope to see you there!
