Pray the Rosary with Fordham Prep Pope Francis has said, "contemplating the face of Christ with the heart of Mary our Mother will make us even more united as a spiritual family and will help us overcome this time of trial." With that in mind, the Fordham Prep Ministry team invites the community to pray the Rosary every day during the month of May. There will also be a live online recitation at least once a week. Follow Fordham Prep Ministry on Instagram for more information.
