| 0:00.0 | This is Holy Family School of Faith. |
| 0:06.0 | Welcome to our rosary meditation. I am blessed to be |
| 0:11.0 | behind St. Michael the Archangel Parish, gathered with a couple hundred people. |
| 0:17.0 | We have had a time of friendship and good conversation. Now we're going to pray the |
| 0:23.2 | rosary together. So let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. |
| 0:27.6 | And let's call to mind all those that we've promised to pray for. |
| 0:33.8 | Today is the feast of St. James the greater. |
