Join us in praying a weekly rosary with your family. Each rosary prayed will be a spiritual rose presented to the Virgin Mary in a bouquet. We pray for our Pope, the universal church, world peace, the end to abortion, and the respect of all human life. Please get in touch with Mrs. Ivonne Aguirre at (956) 744-8737 for information.
