Rosary Devotion at Xellim
Pope Leo XIII said: "The Rosary is the most excellent form of prayer and the most efficacious means of attaining eternal life. It is the remedy for all our evils, the root of all our blessings. There is no more excellent way of praying."

In the chapel of Our Lady of Fatima, Xellim, the faithful of the parish dedicated the month of October to honour and pray the holy rosary every day near the cross. In the chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Fatima, they celebrate the feast on 13th. On 13th a big procession was initiated from St. Sebastian Church to Our Lady of Fatima chapel. This year due to the pandemic the vehicle procession went to all the village roads of Church and chapel.

The closing ceremony of Month of Rosary was celebrated pompously at Xellim, Goa. A number of devotees gathered prayerfully to honour our heavenly Mother. The ceremony consisted of singing hymns to our lady, praying of the rosary and the litany with candle light. It began at 6 pm and concluded with singing of beautiful hymns at the chapel.

At these difficult times, mother Mary has been our greatest intercessor. She has lovingly stood by the faithful and will continue to do the same. Let the rosary spirit of October continue in us and let the Blessed Mother remain the queen in each of our families, helping us go closer to his Son Jesus Christ.
