October Feast Days

October Feast Days

October in the month of the rosary. It also contains the Feast days of two great Carmelite Saints, St. Teresa of Avila and St. Therese the Little Flower. We briefly remember who these great Saints of God were and what they did in their lives.

We also introduce our new Stations of the Cross Crucifix, imported from Germany.
