Rosary devotion opens Mission Week, Feb. 2

Flyer titled “Monthly Rosary Group.” Event details read: “Monday, Feb. 2 at 3:30 p.m. at Holy Spirit Chapel, located on the lower level of the Student Union.” The background image shows a close-up of hands folded in prayer resting on an open Bible. A rosary graphic frames a passage at the bottom that reads: “Let us pray that praying with the Word of God be nourishment for our lives and a source of hope in our communities, helping us to build a more fraternal and missionary Church.”To open Mission Week (Feb. 1-6), University Ministry will host a special time of prayer and reflection on Monday, Feb. 2, at 3:30 p.m., in the Holy Spirit Chapel, located in the Lower Level of the Student Union.

Together, we will pray the rosary, a traditional Catholic devotion, in support of Pope Leo XIV’s monthly intention for January: Let us pray that praying with the Word of God be nourishment for our lives and a source of hope in our communities, helping us to build a more fraternal and missionary Church.

While the rosary is a traditional Catholic prayer, all are welcome to participate. Rosary beads and easy-to-follow “how-to” guides will be provided.
