Ave + Maria!
Dear Friends, I am very glad to introduce the website of the Rosarians; The First Indigenous Contemplative Congregation of the Rosarians in Asia. This was an inspiration from the Holy Spirit and a Divine commission from the Supreme Pontiff Pius XI in the year 1926 through his encyclical letter “Rerum Eclesiae” inviting the mission lands to begin the Indigenous Religious Congregations. A holy priest, Servant of God B.A. Thomas OMI founded this humble congregation to support the Mission of Evangelization with the Power of Prayer on 2nd February 1928 at Tholagatty, in the Diocese of Jaffna, Sri Lanka. It is marching towards it’s centenary with 25 monasteries, 19 Monasteries in India, 6 in Sri Lanka, one in Canada and one is USA. We welcome everyone to join us in the mission of evangelization through Prayer, especially around-clock adoration with the recital of the Holy Rosary.
