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.

Celebrating with Our Blessed Mother
Recently we received some beautiful notes from several group leaders sharing celebrations they had within their Children's Rosary. Our Children's Rosary group in Lagos, Nigeria spent months preparing over the summer for a large all day celebration of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. They prayed the Rosary, sang and performed dances. They also baked a beautiful birthday cake for Our Blessed Mother.
The group leader also had a special surprise for the children. Each child in this group received a mircaculous medal. The medals were a gift from the Children's Rosary group at St. Thomas Becket Church in Cheshire, Connecticut USA. Just as the Rosary takes us through the sorrows, joys and glorious events of the life of Jesus so too it is beautiful for the children to experience a celebration with their Heavenly Mother. This Children's Rosary in Lagos, Nigeria is one of our groups that meets daily.
