The Rosary Series focuses on the Mysteries of the Holy Rosary and how to pray the Rosary. This series has five activities: Pray the Rosary; Joyful Mysteries; Luminous Mysteries; Sorrowful Mysteries; and Glorious Mysteries. A patch can be earned for completion of each activity.
The goal of each activity in this series is to provide an opportunity for young people and adults to learn more about their faith.
