October 7, 2021 is the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary and an appropriate time for the parish to bless a Monstrance donated to St. Mark the Evangelist by both the Men's & Women's Guilds. At the 8 AM Mass honoring Our Lady, Fr. Rafal sprinkled the Monstrance with holy water after praying a special blessing and recognizing the late, Deacon Bob Esposito, whose name is engraved at the bottom of the vessel's base. Deacon Bob was one of the intentions the congregation prayed for at the Mass.
