"Mary Strong" Rosary Prayer Group
2024-10-06 09:15 - 09:45 | St. James’ Episcopal Church, 4526 Albany Post Rd., Hyde Park, NY, 12538, United States
The “Mary Strong” rosary prayer group meets on the first Sunday of each month. We meet in the Church at 9:15 between our 8 and 10 am services. All are welcome!
Never prayed the rosary before? No problem! This group will teach you everything you need to know.
Yes, Episcopalians can and do pray the rosary! Just as we ask our friends to pray for us, we can ask the saints—that great cloud of witnesses—to intercede on our behalf. Praying the rosary draws us close to the heart of St. Mary the God-bearer as we meditate on Jesus’ ministry, crucifixion, resurrection and ascension.

Join us Sundays at 8:00 a.m. for a celebration of Holy Eucharist (Communion). This is a quiet service, usually without music, though we often have a soloist with acoustic guitar playing before and after the service. The service uses Rite 1 from the 1979 Book of Common Prayer, with traditional language.
