Why Do Catholics Pray the Rosary?

By the 13th century, people wanted to observe traditional prayer times with private devotions. Because people could not read, they could not pray the psalms. Eventually they substituted 150 Our Fathers for the 150 Psalms Later the Our Fathers were replaced with more simple Hail Mary's, spaced with meditation on the lives of Jesus and Mary. St. Dominic spread the popularity of devotion of the rosary through his preaching.
October is a month in which devotion is particularly shown to the Virgin Mary.
