This year our community once again came together to celebrate the Month of Rosary Culmination. A meaningful celebration we Catholics honor every year. October has always been a busy for us because it is dedicated to Mama Mary and the Holy Rosary, so we make sure to offer our time, prayers and simple effort to show our devotion.
A day before the culmination, me and my daughter went to our chapel to help prepare. We brought flowers from our garden so we could use them for decoration, and the rest were bought using the chapel’s small budget. I felt so happy when we arrived and no one else was there yet – my daughter, who is only three years old, immediately picked up the soft broom and started cleaning on her own. I’m very thankful at such a young age, she already know how to help and understand the importance of serving in the chapel.
On the day of the culmination, we started with a solemn procession around the community. Everyone carried our rosaries while praying together and the unity of voices really touched my heart. After the procession, we continued with the novena. When we finally entered the chapel, we had our Bible service, then offered the flowers we prepared to Mama Mary. Seeing children and families come together with simple but sincere offerings made the celebration feel even more meaningful.
One of the highlights was releasing our handmade balloon rosary. We tried our best to form it correctly, but honestly, it didn’t fly perfectly because we made some mistakes. The rosary from became a bit uneven, but instead of being disappointed, we all just laughed. We told ourselves that next time we will improved. What mattered was the joy and effort we shared as one community.
I was also very happy because many people joined the culmination this year. The chapel was lively, and you could really feel the sense of unity and togetherness. After everything we ended the vent with a simple snacks, which made the celebration complete.
Overall, our Month of the Rosary Culmination was a beautiful day filled with faith, devotion and happiness. Even withs mall imperfections, everything turned out wonderful because everyone came with a sincere heart. Moments like these remind me how blessed we are to celebrate and pray together. Mama Mary truly guide us and keeps our community united. At the end of the celebration, we also prayed for all the earthquake victims and for everyone who is suffering now because of the floods and the recent typhoon. May God protect the, and give them strength.
