The Rosary The Rosary is prayed in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament Mass, Tuesday. – Saturday., before Mass.

Prayer for Christian UnityIn humility we come to you, dear God, as we remember our sinfulness and the disunity for which we have been responsible. We confess that we preserve the inherited human barriers of caste, class, ethnicity, power and all things that keep Christians apart. We ask for your forgiveness that we have often used our history and our past to discriminate against one another and hurt the unity to which Christ has called us. Forgive us our disunity and help us to continue to strive for unity, in the precious name of Jesus your Son. ~ Amen
