PLEASE PRAY THE ROSARY AT HOME Catholics have always honored the Blessed Virgin Mary on Saturday because of the pious tradition of her constant faith in Jesus on the first Holy Saturday before the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. I ask all the faithful to join together in praying the rosary to our Blessed Mother, that the Lord will deliver us from this present danger. Bishop Serratelli
