Link to the Rosary
The very title of the cathedral unites the temple to the prayer of the Holy Rosary, contemplative prayer of the mysteries of Christ in the company of his Mother. In the midst of adversity, the Rosary holds the hope of the faithful and makes them walk from Mary's hand. To pray is to prolong the advocation that gives name to this mother church.
