The logo for this year’s Harvest Festival bears elements worthy of knowing and reflecting on. The first is the theme itself, “Taste and See that the Lord is Good” taken from Psalm 34, 9.

October is the Month of the Holy Rosary primarily because the liturgical feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is celebrated annually on October 7th. The feast was introduced by Pope St. Pius V to commemorate the miraculous victory of the Christian forces in the Battle of Lepanto on October 7, 1571. He attributed more to the “arms” of the Rosary than the power of cannons and the valor of the soldiers who fought there.
