Dearest friends, please, remember that the OCTOBER DEVOTION commences on the 1st day of October (Please, know the TIME of the Devotion in your parish). There is no doubt that the ROSARY is always at the centre of the October Devotion. But, unfortunately, some Catholics and Non-Catholics really think that the *ROSARY* is simply a
