Rosary Altar Society

About Us
Formed on July 19th, 1960, the main purpose of this Society is the personal sanctification of its members through devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, primarily through the recitation of the Rosary. The Rosarian Society maintains membership in the National Council of Catholic Women — Diocese of Brooklyn. 

Each meeting begins with a  recitation of the Holy Rosary in the church, immediately followed by a a Mass, and finally a social gathering with refreshments in the cafeteria (guest speaker/presentation).

The Rosarians help clean the church, make donations to charitable causes, go Christmas caroling at the Midway Nursing Home and write Christmas cards to the seminarians.

Social gatherings include a Christmas party in December, a Communion Dinner in May, and an end of season gathering in June.

Special Events

• Annual Induction Ceremony
