“As iron sharpens iron, so man sharpens his fellow man.” (Proverbs 27:17).
The Joe Catholic blog is intended to provide Catholics and non-Catholics with resources to assist them in answering God's call to holiness. Our goal is to help people learn their faith, so they can live their faith and share their faith.
Today we celebrate the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Pope Piux V established this feast in 1578 in thanksgiving for a victory Christians had over the Turks in Lepanto. The victory was achieved due to the praying of the rosary. In 1717, Clement XI extended the feast to the universal Church.
Since we celebrate this feast day early in October, the remainder of the month is dedicated to the Holy Rosary. Below you will find a video from Family Rosary explaining the history of the Rosary.
