The Children's Rosary® is a prayer group movement that was begun out of love for Our Lady and Her Son. Jesus tells us "Truly, I say to you unless you turn and become like children you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven" (Matthew 18:3). The Children's Rosary is an effort to begin in parishes rosary prayer groups composed of children and led by children. Through prayer of the Rosary Our Lady will guide our young people while at the same time sanctify families and Parishes.

Reflections from the Children's Rosary at St. Thomas the Apostle Church in West Hartford, CT USA
Today we were blessed with many adults who joined the children for the Rosary. With the reconstruction of the lower chapel the children were relocated to the Upper Church to hold the Children's Rosary. During the rosary the children place a rose before a statue of Our Lady at the end of each decade and ask for the fruit of each mystery. After the Rosary ended, Alina asked if she could give the adults who had joined us a rose in thanksgiving. There were two women who had joined the children today who were originally from Cork Ireland. Both women were all smiles as Alina brought them each a rose. They quickly told Alina that they love the Rosary and pray it daily. It was wonderful to see one generation of Our Lady's children sharing their faith with Our Lady's younger children of today.
