This Sunday is Divine Mercy Sunday. The Children's Rosary has been invited to participate in an annual Divine Mercy event at St. Thomas the Apostle Church in West Hartford, Connecticut USA.
This is something that the children have participated in the past several years and it has been a tremendous blessing. The event will begin at 2PM ET with a procession of the Divine Mercy Image led by the Knights of Columbus and the Children's Rosary. One of the priests present will expose the Blessed Sacrament followed by a Children's Rosary. The children will conclude the Rosary by singing our theme song Rosary Children. Jeff Batter who helped with the official recording of this song for our CD will be present and accompanying the children. The children will be leading the Rosary between 2 and 2:30 PM for those who would like to unify prayers with them. The children always pray for those unifying with them in prayer.
Confessions will be available between 2-4PM. Cheryl and Jeff Batter will also sing the Divine Mercy Chaplet which is incredibly moving. There will be an opportunity to venerate a first class relic of St. Faustina.
We also have a wonderful blessing: the Official Missionary Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe will also be present. This is an exact replica of Our Lady's Tilma given to St. Juan Diego. The Missionary image has been blessed by the Rector of the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico.
We hope you can join us this weekend!

Behind the Scenes
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.
