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.
