Established in 1976, the group was part of the federation of three other groups from the Holy Spirit, Holy Family
and St Vincent de Paul churches. The membership stood at over a hundred in1997, a far cry form the four founding members.
The original mission of the group to promote home Rosary
devotions for the "cause of Padre Pio" and to pray for the sick still remains. However, much of the current role is in
the minstering to the living, sick, dying and deceased. When the group merged with the St. Joseph Sodality Prayer Group,
it became a source of comfort and strength for the bereaved families of the deceased members of the church community,
rallying around them
at a difficult and emotional time, and providing loving support through prayer.
Devotion to Our Lady holds a special place in the hearts of the group's members.
Every 13th and 23rd days of the month, the group leads the reflection of the Rosary in the church.
Annually, at noon on 8 December, a special "Hour of Grace" Rosary devotion in honour of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception
is held. Through other activities like retreats, days of recollection and gatherings, the group has kept the Gospel message
alive in a practical way, through prayer and service to the community
