The Living Rosary

A Living Rosary will be held on Monday, May 15 at 7 p.m. at St. Nicolas Church in Laguna Woods.

Since May of 2010, St. Nicholas Church in Laguna Woods 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. We are happy to have our Confirmation class participate with the 5th decade. This year our Mother Mary statue is from the Spanish Group, Our Lady of Guadalupe. All are welcome to experience our rich diversity in this beautiful service to Mary. C
