Mass Offered for Members of the Children's Rosary on October 25, 2023

 

A Mass will be offered on October 25, 2023 for all the members of the Children's Rosary and all who help the Children's Rosary. We continue to have a Mass said for this intention on the 25th of each month. The Eucharist is such a powerful gift from Our Lord that when we wanted to extend thanksgiving to all of you we knew of no better way to express gratitude. May Our Lord's love be poured down on all of you through the powerful sacrifice of the Holy Mass.

Children in Nicaragua Lead a Children's Rosary before Cardinal Brenes and a Full Church on October 13, 2023

On October 13, 2023, Cardinal Leopoldo José Brenes, Archbishop of the Cathedral of Managua visited the Parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus in Ticuantepe. 

Members of the Children’s Rosary prayer group movement led a Children’s Rosary and sang the theme song for the Children’s Rosary. This was followed by Holy Mass. 

The Cardinal prayed along with the children and a full Church of parishioners. The Cardinal was presented with a small package of gifts from the Children’s Rosary. 

Ticuantepe is a rural area where families grow pineapple and pitahaya. Despite the simple means of the families, the group leader shared that “they did what was possible to make their shirts.” 

This event provided an opportunity for the members of the Children’s Rosary of St Joseph the Worker Chapel in Ticuantepe to not only pray with the Cardinal and many families that attended the prayer event but also provided an opportunity to 15 new children to participate. The Children’s Rosary group leader shared her hopes that these new children will help to spread the Children’s Rosary to their respective Chapels and Churches in the Ticuantepe region.

The Archdiocese of Managua posted a video of the children leading the Rosary which can be viewed HERE.

Connecticut Catholic Men's Conference 2023

On September 23, 2023, the Children's Rosary had a booth at the Connecticut Catholic Men's Conference at Northwest Catholic High School in West Hartford, CT. The theme of this year's conference was "Priesthood: God's Gift and Our Responsibility." The day was full of tremendous blessings. It began with a procession of 28 relics of saints into the auditorium. Some included first class relics of St. Jean Marie Vianney, St. Augustine, St Francis de Sales, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Teresa of Avila, St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Alphonsus Liguori, and many more. I had an opportunity to venerate these relics and pray for the Children's Rosary and its members. As the conference opened, the relics were processed and placed on the stage. The MC then said, "We have a very special guest today," the music began to build and there was a silence with the room full of expectation. He then announced the special guest is Jesus Christ. With this announcement, the music built yet more and Fr. Sullivan, pastor of the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Waterbury, CT, emerged into the room holding a monstrance with the Blessed Sacrament. It was a very special Eucharistic Procession.

We also shared for the first time new Children's Rosary balloons which were designed and printed in Germany. 

They were a very kind gift of Guido Ossemann. If anyone has need of some for an informational table, let me know and we will try to share some with you. There were some rather funny efforts to blow up the balloons with helium and tie them off. We had help from Fr. Elias Mills and two seminarians. The first of which to successfully tie the balloon off accidentally let go and this left us all laughing and looking up to see the balloon perched at the top of the gym of the high school. Students this week probably had a surprise when it came floating down later.

On October 13, 2023 a package was sent to Fr. Kalumbi at Kanyama Catholic Parish in Malawi. During October, which is the month of the Rosary, we are trying to help new and existing Children's Rosary groups with needed materials.

This past spring we received many pictures from the different outposts of the parish where new Children's Rosary groups have formed. The picture below is from Magunditsa Outstation.
