My brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ,

The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary

On October 7, the Church celebrates the yearly feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Known

for several centuries by the alternate title of “Our Lady of Victory,” the feast day takes

place in honor of a 16th century naval victory which secured Europe against Turkish

invasion. Pope St. Pius V attributed the victory to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin

Mary, who was invoked on the day of the battle through a campaign to pray the Rosary

throughout Europe.

Pope Leo XIII was particularly devoted to Our Lady of the Rosary, producing 11 encyclicals on the subject of this

feast and its importance in the course of his long pontificate. In 1883's “Supremi Apostolatus Officio,” he echoed

the words of the oldest known Marian prayer (known in the Latin tradition as the “Sub Tuum Praesidium”), when

he wrote, “It has always been the habit of Catholics in danger and in troublous times to fly for refuge to Mary.”

And “This devotion, so great and so confident, to the august Queen of Heaven,” Pope Leo continued, “has never

shone forth with such brilliancy as when the militant Church of God has seemed to be endangered by the violence

of heresy … or by an intolerable moral corruption, or by the attacks of powerful enemies.” Foremost among such

“attacks” was the battle of Lepanto, a perilous and decisive moment in European and world history.

Troops of the Turkish Ottoman Empire had invaded and occupied the

Byzantine empire by 1453, bringing a large portion of the increasingly

divided Christian world under a version of Islamic law. For the next hundred

years, the Turks expanded their empire westward on land, and asserted their

naval power in the Mediterranean. In 1565 they attacked Malta, envisioning

an eventual invasion of Rome. Though repelled at Malta, the Turks captured

Cyprus in the fall of 1570. The next year, three Catholic powers on the

continent – Genoa, Spain, and the Papal States - formed an alliance called

the Holy League, to defend their Christian civilization against Turkish

invasion. Its fleets sailed to confront the Turks near the west coast of Greece

on October 7, 1571.

During the battle crew members on more than 200 ships prayed the Rosary

in preparation for the battle - as did Christians throughout Europe,

encouraged by the Pope to gather in their churches to invoke the Virgin

Mary against the daunting Turkish forces. When the pope was eventually

informed that all but 13 of the nearly 300 Turkish ships had been captured or sunk. He was moved to institute the

feast now celebrated universally as Our Lady of the Rosary.

These days we do not have to face with any particular war but spiritually we do such as protecting life. During this

October, the Catholic Church in the United States of America is praying for ending abortion and respect life. May

our Lady of the Rosary intercede for us that we all value the scared life of all human beings are gifts from God and

protect all from the movement of conception until nature death.

Rev. Joseph-Quoc Vuong

We are in need of a volunteer who will work with the pastor in Protecting of God’s Children

and Vulnerable Adult Program at St. Mary of Czestochowa. Please contact Father Joseph-

Quoc for further information.

Our condolences as a church

family is extended to the family of Jane Huncha whose Mass of Christian burial was celebrated this past week . May she share in the resurrection and life of Jesus Christ (Jn 11-25)

Why pray the Rosary today?

Certainly, to grow in holiness and in one's prayer life. The

following are a few others reasons why the rosary should

be prayed often, even daily:

Pope John Paul II has called the Rosary his

“favorite prayer,” after the Mass and the Liturgy of

the Hours. How beautiful is the family that recites

the Rosary every evening”

The Rosary is a magnificent prayer for the needs

of the Church, the nations and the entire world”

(Pope John XXIII)

St. Louis de Montfort warns us against both the ignorant

and scholars who regard the Rosary as something of little

importance..."the Rosary is a priceless treasure inspired by

God."

Pope Francis Prayers for October Workers and the Unemployed.

That all workers may receive respect and protection of their

rights, and that the unemployed may receive the

opportunity to contribute to the common good.

Anointing Mass at St Boniface

Wednesday, October 18 -10:30 a.m.

Who can receive the Sacrament of the Anointing

of the Sick? Any member of the faithful as soon as

they begin to be in danger of death because of

sickness or old age. The faithful who receive this

sacrament can receive it several times if their illness

becomes worse or another serious sickness afflicts

them. The celebration, if possible, be preceded by

individual confession on the part of the sick person.

The Sacrament consists of anointing with oil on

the forehead and on the hands accompanied by prayer

of the priest who ask for the special grace of this

Sacrament.

The Sacrament confers a special grace which

unites the sick person more intimately to the Passion

of Christ for his good and for the good of all the

Church. It gives comfort, peace, courage, and even

the forgiveness of sins if the sick person is not able to

make a confession.

Let Fr. Joseph know if you are interested in

attending.
