"Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." (Matthew 4:19)

This was part of the Gospel reading today on the Feast of St. Andrew.  It is a wonderful invitation. 

St. Andrew and St. Peter Fishing in the Sea of Galilee

One of the ways we can help Our Lord gather more of His sheep is through prayer. A prayer His Mother taught us: The Holy Rosary.

Come and join us in prayer today.  We have a Children’s Rosary meeting at St. Mary Church in Corvallis, Oregon at 9AM Pacific time (12 EST).  We also have a very special Children’s Rosary today at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Waterbury, Connecticut.  The Children’s Rosary will be held at the conclusion of a procession of the traveling Icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa which come to us from Poland.  The intention the Icon carries is one of respect life.  The children will lead the Rosary immediately following the procession at 3:30 PM EST.  Please consider joining the children in prayer of the Rosary.  They always pray for those unifying prayers with them.
