Children's Rosary in Dormitz, Germany Celebrates Third Anniversary!

We received this lovely note from Heidi and Matthias who lead the Children's Rosary in Dormitz Germany.

According to our schedule, we did not hold a Rosary gathering in September, but we did have two sessions in October—on the 4th and the 25th. On the latter date, by the grace of God, we celebrated our third anniversary.

Eleven children attended, accompanied by their parents. This year’s session began with a visit to the cemetery located right next to our church. The children were asked to bring photos of their loved ones; each child lit a small candle, and we concluded by praying together for the souls of the departed—essentially observing All Souls' Day and All Saints' Day a bit early. During the Rosary, we also noted that October is a special month dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary. Our priest had intended to join us, but he was unable to attend due to a family emergency involving his elderly father. To our surprise, one of the children, Robi, volunteered to lead a catechetical reflection on St. Carlo Acutis—his favorite saint. Three children dressed as saints: Robi (as Carlo Acutis), another as Saint George, and a third as Saint Francis of Assisi. To conclude, the children were invited to choose specific "fruits of the Holy Spirit" they wished to cultivate and hang them on the "Rosary Seed" tree—taking inspiration from Carlo Acutis, who dedicated himself to nurturing these virtues within his own life. Together, we give thanks to our Heavenly Mother, who inspires each family to contribute to this day—whether by helping with games, piñatas, refreshments, or food.

Connecticut Catholic Men's Conference 2026

The Children's Rosary had a booth at this year's Connecticut Catholic Men's Conference on October 10. It was a grace filled day of Mass and veneration of many relics including that of St John Paul II (shown below). 

We also saw friends and made new ones. One of which was Father David Aufiero shown above. He is the pastor at St. Patrick's parish in South Hadley, Massachusetts. He was very interested in starting a Children's Rosary at his parish. We are praying a novena with him to help this come to fruition. We also met Mark Swartzberg and his wife Pam from Relevant Radio. They invited Asher and I for an interview that aired live today. We are extremely grateful for their help spreading the Children's Rosary. The interview can be heard HERE.

Mass Offered for All the Members of the Children's Rosary on October 25, 2026

 A Mass was offered on October 25, 2026 for all the members of the Children's Rosary and all who help the Children's Rosary. We continue to have a Mass said for this intention on the twenty-fifth of each month. The Eucharist is such a powerful gift from Our Lord that when we wanted to extend thanksgiving to all of you, we knew of no better way to express gratitude. May Our Lord's love be poured down on all of you through the powerful sacrifice of the Holy Mass. 

The pictures included in this post were recently taken of the Children's Rosary at Model Colony, Lahore Pakistan.

This was a special meeting where children from the parish chapels were invited to come together at the main Church. The evening began at 5PM with the rosary led by the children. 

This was followed by Holy Mass. The children took a leadership role in the Mass by bringing up the gifts. 

There were beautiful roses placed at the foot of Our Blessed Mother.

October Meeting of the Children's Rosary in Makawao, Hawaii

Mass Offered on October 13, 2026 for the Holy Souls in Purgatory

A Mass was offered on October 13, 2026 for the Holy Souls. Currently the Children's Rosary has four monthly Masses offered. On the first of each month, a Mass is offered for seminarians that they will grow in holiness and lead us in love, on the first Saturday a Mass is offered for renewal of family prayer, and on the 25th of the month a Mass is offered for all the members of the Children's Rosary and all who help the Children's Rosary. Additionally We have a monthly Mass offered for the Holy Souls in Purgatory on the 13th of each month.

The Catechism is clear that we should help them. "In full consciousness of this communion  of the whole Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, the Church in its pilgrim members, from the very earliest days of the Christian religion, has honored with great respect the memory of the dead; and 'because it is a holy and a wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from their sins' she offers her suffrages for them." Our prayer for them is capable not only of helping them, but also of making their intercession for us effective". (CCC958)

The Children's Rosary also has made it a priority for many years to help the Holy Souls and seek their intercession.
