Join Us for a Unique Spiritual Experience This October
Earlier this year, parish members took part in a special project by creating their own Peace Poles as a beautiful way to spread the message of peace. Now, in the Month of the Holy Rosary, we’re inviting you to join us for a four-week journey where prayer and creativity meet.
About the Class:
During this once-a-week class, you’ll focus on three essential prayers of the rosary: the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be. After a brief reflection on each prayer, you’ll get hands-on, decorating one side of your very own Peace Pole using paint and stencils. While a sample will be provided, you’re encouraged to let your creativity shine and make your design uniquely yours. The fourth side of the pole will remain a blank canvas for you to complete during the final session, allowing you to express your personal connection to the prayers.
Details:
- Dates: Mondays, October 7, 14, 21, and 28
- Times: 1:30 PM or 6:30 PM
- Cost: $25 (covers the 4-foot PVC post and vinyl lettering)
How to Register:
To ensure that we have enough materials for everyone, please register by September 30th. You can sign up by contacting Christy at Christyg@blessed-midland.org or below. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to deepen your faith and create something meaningful.
Why the Rosary?
The tradition of using prayer beads dates back to the early Church, where they were used to count Our Fathers and Hail Marys. By the Middle Ages, 150 Hail Marys were recited alongside verses of psalms or phrases reflecting on the lives of Jesus and Mary. In the 13th century, St. Dominic organized these prayers around the Mysteries we recognize today, giving us the Rosary—a “crown or garden of roses” dedicated to Our Lady.
Join us this October to celebrate this rich tradition and craft a symbol of peace and prayer that will serve as a reminder of the powerful intercession of the Holy Rosary in your life.
