The 6th grade class led the entire school in praying a Living Rosary in the school courtyard on the afternoon of Thursday, October 6, 2011. Deacon Louis Pais opened the ceremony.

Now in its 9th year, this very prayerful tradition is known as the Living Rosary. It is prayed in the same way as a regular rosary. However, rather than everybody sitting in a traditional setting, the community sits in a circle and forms the rosary with their bodies.

More than 750 students, staff, clergy and parents filled the school’s courtyard to celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary which is traditionally celebrated in the beginning of October. Parent-volunteer Terese Sides said, “It is amazing to see all the 6th grade kids practice and work together to accomplish the goal of praying to the Blessed Mother as one school.”

The next Living Rosary will take place in May and will be lead by the 4th grade students.
