The October Rosary
His Holiness, Leo XIII, by his Encyclical Supremi Apostolatus, Sept. i, 1883, and by a decree of the S. Congr. of Rites, Aug. 20, 1885, had granted and confirmed some Indulgences for the saying of the Rosary during the month of October; then by a rescript of the S. Congr. of Indulgences, July 23, 1898, he made them perpetual and modified them, granting to the faithful who, during the said month, publicly in church or privately anywhere, recite at least a third part of the Rosary, an indulgence of 7 years and 7 quarantines on each day of that month; a plenary indulgence on the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, or on any one day of its octave, to those who, both on the feast itself and on every day of its octave, shall have recited at least a third part of the Rosary on the usual conditions: confession, communion, and a visit to some church or public oratory and there praying according to the intention of the Pope. A plenary indulgence, on any one day, to those who, after the said octave, shall have recited at least the third part of the Rosary for ten days during the same month, on the same conditions.
