Since September 2018, the Council of Catholic Women (CCW) has been hosting a nightly Rosary call for the healing of the Church, healing and for callers’ personal intentions.
All (men, women, children, non-CCW members) are welcome to join us any night of the week — or every night of the week!
Maybe once a month on your birthdate? Please join us at 8:00 p.m. as we read meditations on the Rosary’s mysteries and pray together.
