Just returned from 1st Friday mass at the chapel, on my lunch hour and Father announced today was the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.
 
I went this morning - stayed after and prayed the Rosary too! It was a great morning 🙂
 
Our priest told us the story behind Our Lady of the Rosary. Very interesting.

"“The feast was introduced by Pope St. Pius V (1504-1572) in the year 1571 to commemorate the miraculous victory of the Christian forces in the Battle of Lepanto on October 7, 1571. The pope attributed more to the “arms” of the Rosary than the power of cannons and the valor of the soldiers who fought there”
