The 45th Annual Arizona Rosary Celebration is set for this coming weekend, Saturday, October 17th in Tucson and Sunday, October 18th in Phoenix.
Sister Lois from the Diocese, office of formation, has supplied information regarding the annual Rosary celebration.
This celebration began 45 years ago in Phoenix and was added to the Tucson calendar 10 years ago! Many of you have participated in person, but this weekend, both celebrations will be virtual. Not knowing what the pandemic would allow when the planning started many months ago, rather than cancel it completely each diocese has been able to plan for this virtual celebration.
St. Augustine Cathedral, Saturday, October 17th beginning at 9:50 AM. The celebration will begin at 10:00 AM.

We are providing the last Video in the series again for folks that did not see it last week.
This new series is about Evil and Suffering. I thought it might be helpful to hear about these subjects since we all have been experiencing a very trying period. Enjoy the next video in the series, The Resurrection, during your family's spiritual time together.
