Recently we received a message from the Children's Rosary group at St. Patrick's Church in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania USA. They were celebrating their one year anniversary and had planned a special Hershey Kiss Rosary. The group leader and her daughter have faithfully held their Children's Rosary group on the third Monday of each month.
One month the group leader wrote that it was just she and her daughter. Yet they knew that their meeting although small was important. Indeed they were experiencing a taste of how Our Lord thirsts for souls. We have also received news from this group of the joys they have experienced and also the children that have been touched who have participated throughout the year.
Indeed there is much to celebrate at the end of a year of meeting. The many Rosaries prayed together as a Children's Rosary prayer group. It is also beautiful to contemplate Our Blessed Mother carrying these prayers up to her Son to present to Him. The prayers especially sweet as they come from the tender hearts of little ones. It is hard to know the effect these prayers have on the souls of these young children, their families, their parishes and the world.
Receiving these pictures one is also struck by the creativity of children. They found a clever way of honoring Our Lord through an edible Hershey Kiss Rosary.

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.
