New Children's Rosary to Meet in Russia this Weekend

We are very excited to share that a new Children's Rosary will be meeting for the first time this Sunday at Nativity of Jesus Parish in Magadan, Russia.  

The new Children's Rosary group will be Consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary at the first meeting. In this way the group is under the protection and guidance of Christ and His Mother. The children will be praying in Russian.

Magadan is a port town in Eastern Siberia. The climate is subarctic. Winter begins in October and the winters are very long with 6 months of the year at subzero temperatures. The major industry of the town is ship building and fishing. This town was the prison camp city of Stalin chosen for its remote location and harsh climate.

On May 18th 2017 two hundred handmade Rosaries and twenty-five Children's Rosary books were sent to this parish. The materials were carried by hand to Russia with the hope that a Children's Rosary group could begin in Russia.  By Divine Providence the person carrying the materials was able to visit Fatima with the materials on her way to Russia.  She was able to Consecrate the trip to Our Blessed Mother.

Six months later on October 15th children in Russia will kneel as a prayer group to pray the Rosary.  We are very grateful for such a precious gift as this.  

Please consider joining the children in prayer. The children are asked to pray for those unifying prayers with them.  See a schedule of meetings on our website: www.childrensrosary.org or www.rosariodeninos.org
The meetings are listed in your local time zone. Meetings also appear as a blue flashing light on our View From Heaven map when the children are meeting in their prayer groups. By clicking "join in prayer" you can add your gold flashing light to the map.
