<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Because October has traditionally been the month of the Rosary, students at Valle Catholic have had the opportunity to pray the Rosary a number of times throughout this month.</span></strong>

Every 5th Grader was partnered with a 1st Grader and they’ve gotten together and prayed the Rosary together this month. Also some students have had the opportunity to recite the Rosary with his/her family by using a "Family/Class Rosary" that is sent home with a different student each day during the month. 5th Graders visited Riverview Nursing Home to recite the Rosary with the residents.</span> </strong></p>

<span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>What distinguishes the Rosary from other forms of prayer is that, along with the vocal prayers, it includes a series of meditations. Each decade of the Rosary is said while meditating on one of the "Mysteries" of redemption. These mysteries originated in the 15th century.</strong></span>
