CCF Community Celebrates the Culmination of the Rosary Month

Cagayan de Oro City – The month of October is known in the Catholic Church as the ‘Rosary Month.’ Why? The short answer is that it is because that on October 7, the entire Church celebrates the memorial of the Our Lady of the Holy Rosary.

This feast which is also known as feast of the Our Lady of Victories recalls the miraculous victory of the Christian forces in the Battle of Lepanto on October 7, 1571. Pope St. Pius V established it as a feast on that same year. Eventually, this devotion to the holy rosary became widespread and common.  

Calabrian Children’s Foundation, an institution run by the Congregation of the Poor Servants of Divine Providence (Calabrians), celebrated this special devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, yesterday afternoon, October 30, 2024. The community, led by some children, prayed the holy rosary. Then, a eucharistic celebration followed to give thanks to God through the maternal intercession of Mother Mary.

The community was graced by the presence of the religious communities of Lumbia and Carmen, the staff, and Sr. Babylyn Dulfo and her two companion sisters who came all the way from the United States of America.
