LIVING ROSARY
Since May of 2010, St. Nicholas Church has presented The Living Rosary twice a year, sponsored by the Unity Group. It has grown and evolved into a beautiful service honoring our Blessed Mother. Each decade is said by one of our ethnic groups: Anglo, Spanish, Filipino and Vietnamese in their native tongue. This year, the Living Rosary will be presented on Monday, May 15 at 7 p.m. The Mother Mary statue will be courtesy of the parish’s Spanish ministry, Our Lady of Guadalupe. The parish’s Confirmation class will also participate. All are welcome to experience our rich diversity in this beautiful service to Mary.
