Children's 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.

New Children's Rosary in Jinja, Uganda!

We are happy to share that there is a new Children's Rosary group at St. Mary's Church in Jinja, Uganda. St. Mary's Church also serves as a school room for the children during the week.

The new group had their first meeting on Sunday March 12th. The children came to Holy Mass in the morning at St. Mary's Church. This was celebrated by Fr. Ssali.

Each child was given a Rosary. We are grateful for those who have donated rosary beads to send to the children.

The children returned in the afternoon to hold their first Children's Rosary in the garden. The children knelt around a small statue of Our Lady and the baby Jesus. They created a little intention box which they placed in front of them.

They brought little flowers to place in the box to represent their intentions. One at a time they placed their flowers in the box before Our Lady and Jesus. The children also attended Adoration following the Children's Rosary (see the last photograph).

We welcome the members of Children's Rosary in Jinja. We also thank Fr. Ssali and Henry Bukenya for their help organizing this new group.This new Children's Rosary group is in the Jinja Diocese in Uganda and joins groups in the Kampala Diocese and Mityana Diocese in Uganda along with other Children's Rosary groups around the world.
