Father’s Day Rosary

On June 17th, All Souls Cemetery joined our 11 Catholic Cemeteries throughout the Archdiocese by holding its annual Father's Day Rosary, and it was evident to all in attendance that our cemeteries are returning to pre-pandemic normalcy. Over 100 faithful individuals participated in the rosary, which was live-streamed on our website. The number of attendees increased as the service progressed, with passersby joining in on the Rosary's bilingual songs and prayers.

The Rosary was guided by Deacon Alberto Reyes from St. Rose of Lima Parish in Maywood. He took a moment to acknowledge the presence of several fathers who attended the event.  The service offered intentions and appreciation to all fathers and those who have departed to their eternal home.

The rosary helps us reflect on the mysteries of our Lord's incarnation, passion, death, and resurrection. We ask for the intercession of our Blessed Mother as we strengthen our relationship with God and His Blessed Mother through our shared hope and love.

This was the third occasion in the past five weeks when we hosted ceremonies at our 11 Catholic cemeteries. The previous events were the Mother's Day Rosary and Memorial Day Mass in May, which can be found on our website.


“The Rosary is a prayer that always accompanies me; it is also the prayer of the ordinary people and the saints… it is a prayer from my heart.” - Pope Francis
