Members' Thoughts and Reflections about Membership

"All my life, the Blessed Mother has been there for me - my 'Safety Net'. I was absolutely thrilled to be able to join the Rosary Altar Society. For five years, the ladies I have met and enjoyed activities with, all have one thing in common "Our Blessed Mother". I feel that I have known them all - all my life. What a womderful way to enjoy the Parish!!!"

"The Rosary Society has always had a special place in my life. The ladies are wonderful friends, and all the committees we have served on together have helped us to form a life-long bond. Working on the Altars, is particularly rewarding."

"Being a member of the Rosary Altar Society has truly been a blessing to me. Over the past ten years, I have made friends with women of different ages and backgrounds, but with a common tie: love and devotion to our Blessed Mother. The meetings are varied and interesting, as well as lots of fun. We are also active in many of the Parish functions."

"Rosary Altar Society has been important to me in my adult life, for a few years at my Brooklyn Parish, and for over 30 years at OLL in Malverne. We come together as Christian women, to love and serve God and His Blessed Mother, and to thank Them for many good people and blessings in our lifetime - and to hlep our Parish and our world. We can each make a difference with our prayers, and we also try to follow Mary's example and to care about others."
