n Tuesday evenings, one may find the church at St. Vincent de Paul echoing with the cadence of a dedicated group praying the rosary. The Rosary Group is a group of men and women that come together to pray the rosary for the intentions of the parish, individual members’ requests, vocations, the Pope’s intentions, and our country. The group began over 20 years ago, meeting in parishioners’ homes. Eventually, it moved to the chapel at St. Vincent’s and after taking a year from meeting in person due to COVID, they began meeting in the church to allow for more space for the members.
“We miss the coziness of our small chapel but being able to pray in front of the tabernacle and in the presence of Jesus, that is something special as well,” says Beverly Keiser, a longtime Rosary Group member and the head of the Devotional Ministry. While all are welcome to join them in the church every week at 7 p.m., the group shares their love of the rosary with the parish in a more prominent way during a couple months of the year. “October is the month of the Rosary and May is the month of Mary,” Beverly says. “So, Fr. Philip asked us to assist with leading the rosary before each Sunday Mass.”
