Welcome to the website of Our Lady of the Rosary, Marylebone. Our church is built in the neo-romanesque style, and is located near to Edgware Road tube station and the Westway.
Habemus Papam!
It seems so fitting to quote the words of another American, Francis Cardinal George, uttered when Pope Benedict XVI was elected: “I was gazing over toward the Circus Maximus, toward the Palatine Hill where the Roman Emperors once resided and reigned and looked down upon the persecution of Christians, and I thought, ‘Where are their successors? Where is the successor of Caesar Augustus? Where is the successor of Marcus Aurelius? And finally, who cares? But if you want to see the successor of Peter, he is right next to me, smiling and waving at the crowds.”
And wasn’t he just?
So let us pray:
O God,
who in your providential design
willed that your Church be built upon blessed Peter,
whom you set over the other Apostles,
look with favour, we pray, on Leo our Pope and grant that he,
whom you have made Peter’s successor,
may be for your people a visible source and foundation of unity in faith and of communion.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever. Amen.
God bless our pope and all of you.
Canon Kevin, Fr Alex & Sr Brigid
