“Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.”

On Sunday, 25 October 2026, the faithful gathered at the Divine Retreat Centre, Somersby, for a beautiful and prayerful Rosary Procession in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary, entrusting their intentions to God through her powerful intercession.

With hearts united in faith and devotion, the faithful walked in procession across the retreat centre grounds, accompanying the statue of Our Blessed Mother while prayerfully reciting the Holy Rosary.

The statue of Our Lady of Fatima carried past the gum trees, crowned in gold and standing among white candles on the bier, four bearers at the poles and a server with a torch walking alongside.
