'October is dedicated as the Month of the Rosary because we celebrate the memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary
The short answer is: October is dedicated as the Month of the Rosary because we celebrate the memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary each year on October 7.
But Pope Leo XIII officially established October as the Month of the Rosary in 1884. He was also called the “Rosary Pope” because he wrote 11 encyclicals about the Rosary. Known for centuries as the Feast of “Our Lady of Victory,” this takes place in honor of a naval victory which secured European Christendom against Turkish invasion in 1571.
Two years later, in 1216, St. Dominic de Guzman founded the Order of Preachers in response to at that time a desperate need for informed preaching.Some Catholics also recite the “O my Jesus” prayer after the Glory Be – best known of the seven Fatima prayers that appeared in the early 20th century.Usually, five decades are recited in a session.
In 2002, Pope John Paul II said it is fitting that a new set of five be added, termed the Luminous Mysteries, bringing the total number of mysteries to 20.
