Our 2021 Rosary Bowl NW landed on the Feast of the Guaradian Angels, October 2nd. Archbishop Alexander Sample was the Celebrant for the Holy Mass and his homily reflected the tangible value and real presence of the Holy Angels in our lives today.

Our 16th Annual Rosary Bowl NW falls on the feast of St. Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, October 1st. During the day we will remember the "little" Saint and Doctor of the Church in a special way during the celebration of Holy Mass at 10am with Auxiliary Bishop Peter Smith. Special guests Leonardo and Patti Defilippis of Saint Luke Productions will be on hand to lead the Holy Rosary followed by a Rosary Reflection by Leonardo Defilippis. St. Luke Productions produced a full-length movie on the life of Therese in 2004, staring Lindsay Younce and Leonardo Defilippis. The reflections offered during the Rosary at this year's Rosary Bowl will be based on THE WISDOM OF THE SAINTS meditations written by Patti Defilippis.
Each year at Rosary Bowl NW we welcome participants who bring their gifts of music, ministry and media to the stage. Our first year we welcomed two popular Catholic Recording Artists: Donna Cori Gibson and Michael John Poirier.
Over the years many recording artists have joined us including The Thirsting, Annie Karto, David Phillips, Seraphim, The Hanson Family, Cantores in Ecclesia and local choirs from parishes including St Mary's Eugene and Our Lady of Sorrows, Portland.
We are grateful to live in an area with Catholic Radio. From the very beginning we have received wonderful support from the local Catholic Radio Station KBVM KMME Mater Dei Radio.
