Catholics are, first and foremost, Christians who believe that Jesus

Christ is the Son of God. Catholicism shares some beliefs with

other Christian practices, but essential lCatholic beliefs include the
following: The Bible is the inspired, error-free, and revealed word of
God.

HISTORY - The history of the Catholic Church begins with Jesus

Christ and his teachings (c. 4 BC – c. AD 30), and the Catholic
Church is a continuation of the early Christian community
established by Jesus.

people who ever lived and assigns them to different sorts of
afterlives based on what they did while human.

Rosary - The Holy Rosary, also known as the Dominican Rosary,

refers to a form of prayer used in the Catholic Church and to the
string of knots or beads used to count the component prayers.

Purpose of Rosary - The rosary beads provide a physical method of

keeping count of the number of Hail Mary’s said as the mysteries
are contemplated. The fingers are moved along the beads as the
prayers are recited. By not having to keep track of the count
mentally, the mind is free to meditate on the mysteries.

Importance of Rosary - The rosary is important because it is

beginning Christian prayer: meditation on the various events in
salvation history and asking God how to apply them in your life. It
is importantbecause Our Blessed Lady, herself, came from heaven
and asked us to unite ourselves with her Son through this prayer
each day.

History of Rosary - According to a Dominican tradition,

the rosary was given to Saint Dominic in an apparition by the
Blessed Virgin Mary in the year 1214 in the church of Prouille. This
Marian apparition received the title of Our Lady of the Rosary.
Clerical Clothing - Clerical clothing is non-
liturgical clothing worn exclusively by clergy. It is distinct from
vestments in that it is not reserved specifically for services.
Practices vary: is sometimes worn under vestments, and sometimes
as the everyday clothing or street wear of a priest, minister, or
other clergy member.

History of Clerical Clothing - It was not until late in the eighth

century AD that clergy began wearing garments that set them apart
from the laity as a rule. In the early first century, preserved
documents indicate that clothing that drew attention to a clergy
member was discouraged. It was preferred that the clergy be
indistinguishable from the people around them at that time. A
German council in 742 bid priests and deacons to wear longer
garments, rather than the shorter tunics that had become popular,
but even then, the garments were not generally considered to be
clerical. In 875, Pope John VIII sent a letter to the Archbishops of
York and Canterbury, admonishing them to have their clergy wear
ecclesiastical attire, so it would appear that sometime during that
century, attire became more specific for clergy members, in Europe.

Names of Clerical Clothing - Conversely, clerical clothing is not,

and is regarded as daily wear. Inner cassock: The inner
cassock (more commonly, simply cassock) is a floor length garment,
usually black, worn by all clergy members, monastics, and
seminarians.
Purpose of Clerical Clothing - Actually a form of the garment worn
at baptism, this is the one vestment worn by allclergy. It is also
used by non-ordained persons carrying out a liturgical function,
such as altar servers. For priests and bishops, it is made of
lightweight material, usually white.
