Saint Pio Rosary Altar Society

Our primary goal of the Saint Pio Rosary Altar Society is to praise and honor the Blessed Virgin Mary and secure her patronage by the recitation of the Holy Rosary.

Every first Monday of the month, in the Chapel, gathering as one, we recite the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary. It is an opportunity to express individual heartfelt petitions for ourselves, loved ones, (on earth or above), infirmed, in hope or in thanks. Immediately following Chapel, we proceed to our meeting in the Parish Hall. Here we take time to reflect on the life of Our Lady: child, Mother, wife, daughter, and woman burdened, blessed, adored. The Virgin and Mother is deeply inspirating and a wonderful conduit to reveal & share personal challenges, needs, loves and conflicts. The Rosary is the strongest weapon against heartache, misery, anxiety, depression; the Rosarians will lift you, strengthen you and open up new venues of joy. Come, see, feel and join in our prayers, meditations, remarks and especially our volunteer efforts. We always conclude with refreshments, beverages and cakes.

Every first Sunday of the month, 8:30 am, is Corporate Sunday. We recite the Glorious Mysteries of the Holy Rosary together with the Holy Name Society. It is a “corporate” effort of both Church ministries and our entire congregation. Mass follows at 9 am.

We have an annual Christmas Party for all the members of Sacred Heart and Saint Pio Churches and an annual private luncheon for “us”, Saint Pio Rosary Altar Society.

Saint Pio R.A.S. ministries help the homeless, support OPEN DOOR, (Mothers in crisis pregnancy and need), adopt families in need for Christmas, assist in the upkeep and beautification of the Church, chapel and Altars; assistance in our Healing Masses and the annual Blessing of the Water, on the beach, (to name a few). Interested in diving deeper? Learn how to Consecrate your life to the Blessed Virgin Mary or ponder the Chaplet of Divine Mercy from Sister Faustina.

Call the Parish Office for more Information. All Catholic Women are Invited to participate or join.
