Rosary Apostolate

Individuals who lead the Rosary after Mass will be known as members of the Rosary Apostolate. Individuals and families are invited to join this apostolate to pray and lead the Holy Rosary immediately following Holy Mass on Sundays. The goal of this apostolate is for individuals and families to grow closer to our Lord Jesus through devotion to our Blessed Mother. If you are willing to be one of the two people to lead the Rosary after Sunday Mass and become a member of this new apostolate, please contact Cathy Culpepper at 732-895-2388.

Rosary Society

An organization of parish women dedicated to promoting among its members a deeper commitment to a life of prayer, charity and social interaction. Members support various parish activities throughout the year.

Mary has said, "I have obtained from my Son that all the members of the Rosary Confraternity shall have in life and in death all the Blessed as their associates."

Here is a powerful bond of spiritual communion to help us daily, give us courage in the hour of death, liberate us from purgatory after death, and deepen our relationship with the Blessed Virgin Mary. In addition, we gain these benefits: A sharing in the thousands of members’ prayers, Partial and certain plenary indulgences, Benefit from the prayers & good works of the friars, nuns, sisters and laity of the Dominican order.

Each Rosarian prays 15 mysteries of the Rosary each week (This is not bound under the pain of sin.). As we pray the rosary we unite our prayers with other members.

Rosarians attend the 9:00am Mass together every First Sunday and recite the Rosary after Mass.
