Restored Church of Our Lady of the Rosary

The Dominican and parish communities of Rosary Priory in Grenada were filled with joy as they celebrated the opening of their restored Church. The formal re-dedication of the Church will take place later but the hope of celebrating Mass there for the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary this year was realised. Below are some photographs of the condition of the church after Hurricane Ivan had passed through Grenada in 2004 and some photographs of the restored church today. Thank you to all who have contributed to the restoration of this church. Your continuing support for the work of the English Dominicans and their Brothers in Grenada and Barbados is very much appreciated.

The main entrance today …. and how it was after the hurricane.

The main entrance seen from inside … and how it is now seen from the new sanctuary.

The sanctuary was at the far end of the church but that far end is now a space for choirs.

And the new sanctuary is along what was a side wall in the former church.
