A special day for Our Lady of the Rosary and St. Catherine of Siena

Bishop Frank J. Caggiano blessed the new St. Catherine of Siena Shrine and a renovated Marian Prayer Garden during a Mass honoring Our Lady of the Rosary at St. Catherine of Siena parish in Trumbull. The event included the veneration of relics of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and a blessing of pets and stuffed animals.

The celebration marked the start of a new annual tradition called Rosary Weekend, which the bishop established to be observed every year on the first weekend of October. During his homily, Bishop Caggiano encouraged the congregation to pray the Rosary daily to find guidance and hope during times of suffering, doubt, or fear.
