Athanasius of Alexandria

O Lord, who established your servant Athanasius, through wisdom, in your truth: Grant that we, perceiving the humanity and divinity of your Son Jesus Christ, may follow in his footsteps and ascend the way to eternal life, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

11:30 a.m. | Our Lady of Fifth Avenue

This recitation of the Rosary is offered on the first Saturday of each month at 11:30 a.m. prior to the Holy Eucharist at the Shrine of Our Lady of Fifth Avenue and online as an audio livestream. It incorporates Shrine prayers, and the intercessions are offered at the beginning of each chaplet. More information about the Rosary is available online. More information about the Rosary is available online.

By prayerfully meditating on the mysteries of the Gospel and asking the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we hope to grow in our love of Jesus and in our imitation of him and his mother.

We invite you to send us a prayer request or purchase a candle to be lit at the shrine.
