“On Oct. 7, the Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary, 40 parishioners from St. Luke Parish in Long Valley participated in World Rosary Day 2024, joining millions around the globe in this special prayer. As we approach the Jubilee Year 2025, Pope Francis reminds us to fan the flame of hope and look to the future with trust and courage. In this spirit, the rosary becomes a powerful tool for deepening our faith and spreading hope. We prayed for the success of the Jubilee Year 2025 and the renewal of our hearts as we journey together as ‘Pilgrims of Hope.’ “
