ROSARY GROUP All Our Lady of the Lake School parents and grandparents are invited to pray the rosary. The OLL School Rosary Group will typically meet the third Wednesday of the month at 7:45 a.m. in the church. Check the schedule below, as some months are irregular. The rosary is a powerful prayer that allows us to meditate on the life of Jesus and to get closer to Christ through his blessed mother, Mary. In the 1950s, Pope Pius XII said, We put great confidence in the Holy Rosary for the healing of evils which afflict our times. Those words ring true still today. Join us as we implore the help of Our Lady and pray this powerful prayer, The Rosary, each month. February 20 March 20 April 17 May 15
