Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
During some periods of Irish history, possession of Rosaries were banned. Did people stop praying the Rosary? No, they just invented smaller Rosaries they could hide on their person, known as "penal Rosaries" (See examples here and here). If they could do that, what excuse do we have for not praying it?

The remaining Rosary events for this month will be:
March 18 – Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, 1725 Kennard Street, Maplewood, MN 55109
March 25 - Saint Agnes, 548 Lafond Ave, Saint Paul, MN 55103
