OCTOBER  -  THE MONTH OF THE ROSARY. During the month of October, traditionally dedicated to the Holy Rosary, His Holiness Pope Leo has called on Catholics around the world to pray the Rosary daily, uniting in prayer for peace in war-torn regions. Announced during the Wednesday General Audience, the Pope’s appeal invites clergy to share this message with their communities and encourage the faithful to join in this powerful prayer of intercession.

A ROSARY FOR WORLD PEACE is prayed on Thursdays, at Framlingham, at 12.00 p.m.
