Living Rosary celebration

On Oct. 6, all parishioners are invited to join members of the Living Rosary as they gather to pray the rosary and adore Christ in Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. At 1:30 p.m., the group will pray the Joyful and Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary followed by a benediction with Deacon Craig Wood in the church. The Rosary will also be available via livestream at stbmidd.org/live. In May of 1929, 15 female parishioners began the Living Rosary at St. Bernard parish. Members prayed a decade from one of the mysteries of the rosary each day so together a complete rosary of all the decades was prayed daily. More than 90 years later, the membership has changed and grown to include both men and women, who daily recite an assigned decade. They almost complete five 20-decade rosaries each day! To join, you must commit to praying your decade every day and contact Diane Zander at 608-831-5167 or euzan@chorus.net.
