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.

I grew up in South Windsor, Connecticut, in a loving family. I entered seminary formation for the Hartford Archdiocese in August of 2021 and completed my philosophy studies at the Saint Paul Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. I am currently enrolled at the Pontifical North American College and the Pontifical Gregorian University, both in Rome. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #444444; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">My journey to the priestly formation started around the time of my Confirmation when I was 15 years old. I had been enrolled in religious education since I was a young boy, and as Confirmation approached, my soul yearned to understand exactly what I was being confirmed into. The grace deeded to me during my Confirmation brought the idea of diocesan priesthood to mind for the first time. Though a hunger to learn more about our faith remained during my high-school years, the Lord’s call to priesthood started to get clouded out by other desires and aspirations that I possessed. During my undergraduate years at Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey, my focus was on laying the groundwork for a successful business career and enjoying a “normal college life." However, through semi-frequent participation in daily Mass and getting to spend time with many holy, zealous, and joyful priests of the Archdiocese of Newark, New Jersey, the sense that God was calling me to emulate those priests, whom I so admired, would not go away, even while I was dating in the long-term pursuit of matrimony. Reflecting, my “yes” to the priesthood started a few years into college when I was at a conference with a consortium of international college students being mentored by high-level leaders. During that weekend, what kept coming to mind was that the only way to “build the future” like we were discussing was through Jesus and his Church. The Lord made it clear to me that the fruit I would bear would not be of this world but instead be directed toward the salvation of souls by offering the Sacraments of the Church. A year later, the Covid-19 pandemic gave me the space and silence to better ask the question, “What should I do with my life, Lord?” His answer was clear, “Come follow me, and I will make you a fisher of men” (Mt 4:19). From there, it was a quick process of accepting the Lord’s will for my life and starting priestly formation for the Archdiocese of Hartford. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /></span><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #444444; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I am greatly looking forward to preaching God’s word to the future flocks with whom I am entrusted. St. John reminds us that the “Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (Jn 1:14). As a future preacher, I hope to unpack the divine Word into human language that makes the hearers of my preaching become emboldened to accept that the coming of God in the flesh is the crux of human history and the core of their own being. Please continue to pray for me as I continue my formation, and continually ask our Blessed Mother to send us a new generation of priests modeled unto her own Immaculate Heart. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;

We can always trust the Mother of God with our concerns and need not fear as she is our strong advocate with our Lord in heaven."</strong></p>The Children's Rosaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10627084169991953055noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022091110962319957.post-57596221569452708922024-02-10T11:42:00.000-08:002024-02-10T11:44:16.122-08:00Children's Rosary on Radio Maria LIVE Today: February 10, 2024<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRTiYupByBKNpx1dYQ5fVKpSTmHIpbZUO93dwVihvZiX7lCMHrNuB64qFSLOEkLcDU14JbQlFIwlvW14xS1AXMeS4JDEYLt0WrXxk6YMGpdN5OYI_Uc-txgzPusw0IIyOf_eCwrQVcATdAUHHrHR1sMtGhuIw-YlxSFj90Ob-NHlZqtWwamUqcS9kW4Ab9/s2132/radiomaria_feb_2024.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1797" data-original-width="2132" height="338" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRTiYupByBKNpx1dYQ5fVKpSTmHIpbZUO93dwVihvZiX7lCMHrNuB64qFSLOEkLcDU14JbQlFIwlvW14xS1AXMeS4JDEYLt0WrXxk6YMGpdN5OYI_Uc-txgzPusw0IIyOf_eCwrQVcATdAUHHrHR1sMtGhuIw-YlxSFj90Ob-NHlZqtWwamUqcS9kW4Ab9/w400-h338/radiomaria_feb_2024.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p>The Children's Rosaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10627084169991953055noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022091110962319957.post-91052507175904985472024-02-02T17:43:00.000-08:002024-02-02T17:43:55.236-08:00Children's Rosary February 2024 Newsletter<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhObvrpjLBWZluoWSQc8Itg9jNZiBxItmHcMyrMa5Ga2kIWzLVptRlnidgKzbmxetkZaeDUMQDE2AMLRlC-NVQIV1ilZWjssR29zK9N2CIROTGLVccTL3qq9529aeW61tmKeAUuShqW-C90MRX2p7FnUGvfv0p_fJ6hEmqCNIhW3wM0jfFnCy1X4tN-ypE6/s5472/DSC09702.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3648" data-original-width="5472" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhObvrpjLBWZluoWSQc8Itg9jNZiBxItmHcMyrMa5Ga2kIWzLVptRlnidgKzbmxetkZaeDUMQDE2AMLRlC-NVQIV1ilZWjssR29zK9N2CIROTGLVccTL3qq9529aeW61tmKeAUuShqW-C90MRX2p7FnUGvfv0p_fJ6hEmqCNIhW3wM0jfFnCy1X4tN-ypE6/w400-h266/DSC09702.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">To view our Newsletter click below: </span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://mailchi.mp/20dc3d880355/august-news-4838701?e%3D9b461b2c72&source=gmail&ust=1638498361361000&usg=AOvVaw3z460vizJOeM034O1ohHVy" href="https://mailchi.mp/20dc3d880355/august-news-4838701?e=9b461b2c72" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"></a><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://mailchi.mp/20dc3d880355/august-news-4838701?e%3D9b461b2c72&source=gmail&ust=1638498361361000&usg=AOvVaw3z460vizJOeM034O1ohHVy" href="https://mailchi.mp/e8692b806a38/childrensrosaryfebruary2024newsletter-6165295?e=000b44f0d7" style="color: #1155cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-family: arial;">Children's Rosary® February 2024 Newsletter</span></b></a></span></div>The Children's Rosaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10627084169991953055noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022091110962319957.post-1960233770376895412024-02-01T07:06:00.000-08:002024-02-04T11:13:29.642-08:00Mass Offered for Seminarians on February 1, 2024<p><span style="background-color: white;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjk_7qnHaNc1OeaOgWpU5hxLY2l3bL2nf0FX90Twg2uBqQBoIpAdMaCEi00YGAKqpzg0p6noQJtLZHknKt30X4-BbEtln5jKAg8m9dHhwIHUPqI7G2CZXiJJT50-m543NSGqmkFI3ZvjitHtmEebw5WseMq4yPkAauj7-kHvbEsvcirbEoRX8noMji4r7W/s4032/fall%202023.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjk_7qnHaNc1OeaOgWpU5hxLY2l3bL2nf0FX90Twg2uBqQBoIpAdMaCEi00YGAKqpzg0p6noQJtLZHknKt30X4-BbEtln5jKAg8m9dHhwIHUPqI7G2CZXiJJT50-m543NSGqmkFI3ZvjitHtmEebw5WseMq4yPkAauj7-kHvbEsvcirbEoRX8noMji4r7W/w300-h400/fall%202023.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">A Mass was offered on February 1, 2024 for all seminarians that they will grow in holiness and lead us all in love. Every month, we have a Mass offered for this intention. As our seminarians will be the future shepherds and our children are their future flock, it seemed a beautiful way for the children to help. It is our goal in 2024 to feature a different seminarian on the first of the month every month by inviting him to share something of himself and giving all our readers the opportunity to pray for him. This month, we are featuring Gregory Meyer, a seminarian from Southbury, Connecticut, USA. </span><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><i>My name is Gregory Meyer, a native of Southbury, Connecticut, and a seminarian in the priestly formation program for the Archdiocese of Hartford in Connecticut.

In college, I came to know the Lord in a much deeper way through being encouraged by a friend to confront some sins in my life and turn to God for His help and mercy. I also learned so much more about our faith through reading the Bible and through Bishop Barron opening me up to the rich intellectual tradition of the Church. Throughout this time, I was encouraged by a priest to consider the priesthood. I noticed a sense of adventure when I thought about the mission of the priesthood in being able to serve the faithful in this unique way as an ordained minister. I also noticed God had given me different gifts that could be used for Christ's Church. Also, celibacy seemed like a sacrifice I was able to make for the sake of the kingdom of Heaven, and as our Lord said concerning this, "Let the one who is able to receive this receive it" (Mt 19:12). In 2020 after working for two years, I was accepted as a seminarian for my Archdiocese. And it has been quite the journey ever since!</i></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><i><br style="background-color: white;" /></i></span><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><i>As a priest, I hope to bring to the faithful a strong sense of Catholic identity that is nourished by God's grace through the sacraments and beautiful liturgical worship.

It has been a tradition for the Children's Rosary to pray in a special way for Christian Unity during this week. As Bl. Gabriella dedicated her life for the intention of Christian Unity it seemed particularly special to pray through her intercession. <br /><br />Bl. Gabriella was born in 1914 and died at the age of 25 in 1939. She was beatified on January 25th by Pope John Paul II 1983.</span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVFTp5TAXbjcBTCP7nTMaMuRy_I80LQpHtu6UaHZlxeyEznxlCkqPSsEfhk47p2cvvqZqhSzlQ0lkIxc_OB6EgOFDl54K13DlOJoRFPRGz95BEZlyLusN1pqZin0svZ3LUssyuBiwN5DuKMd9609A0ipuIdLezsI557b_lZIXyKptOUwHqsfyhM47m1_sU/s320/Bl.%20Maria%20Gabriella%20relic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Often Children's Rosary groups consider meeting outside only in the warm weather, but this outdoor candlelit rosary in the winter had an unique appeal.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRpq_3o9NAQl8dnuXeTxl6wf4GNR_wN8E-_WqG6w0nopuQ2q3o3j4JO6BvL4doNunfULaIremU7wpvrQxZKpz21KJeqqAO5rrLtsthjTP6dCUSn0X9X9FfnPYMWAhn2h4STtYP1eQUh1yJ6Y-0TM1QjREeCJ-OUfoXM47Mlq1lxsk59zVdkA01Du_AJjGG/s640/IMG_3014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRpq_3o9NAQl8dnuXeTxl6wf4GNR_wN8E-_WqG6w0nopuQ2q3o3j4JO6BvL4doNunfULaIremU7wpvrQxZKpz21KJeqqAO5rrLtsthjTP6dCUSn0X9X9FfnPYMWAhn2h4STtYP1eQUh1yJ6Y-0TM1QjREeCJ-OUfoXM47Mlq1lxsk59zVdkA01Du_AJjGG/s320/IMG_3014.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /></span><p></p>The Children's Rosaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10627084169991953055noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022091110962319957.post-20922449395886835522023-11-28T11:29:00.000-08:002023-11-28T11:29:32.624-08:00Multiple Children's Rosary Groups in Pakistan have Processions on the Feast of Christ the King<p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW9APyfnLAxDs20AteBEzwj1aCJedIefely1BvNuqzghX_LCCp1T4gmtuyhLxfRvKWbKpZdfoLe6QikEXVRhn0pl9peF7t76KlPNJtPcQ7Fs2Ews2yt9oGKZ3kcEVEbDGGAgKBWEdhAKMJTPjMZUsIi-fSWxgAI4W0n8AjnEivYtvMPXhUc7jlyCj8siag/s2048/Children's%20Rosary%20Pakistan%20Feast%20of%20Christ%20the%20King%202023%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="921" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW9APyfnLAxDs20AteBEzwj1aCJedIefely1BvNuqzghX_LCCp1T4gmtuyhLxfRvKWbKpZdfoLe6QikEXVRhn0pl9peF7t76KlPNJtPcQ7Fs2Ews2yt9oGKZ3kcEVEbDGGAgKBWEdhAKMJTPjMZUsIi-fSWxgAI4W0n8AjnEivYtvMPXhUc7jlyCj8siag/w288-h640/Children's%20Rosary%20Pakistan%20Feast%20of%20Christ%20the%20King%202023%202.jpg" width="288" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;">We received pictures from four Children's Rosary groups who held processions through their towns in honor of the Feast of Christ the King which was November 26.2023.

She writes, "Besides the Shrine in Fátima, Portugal, the Chapelle of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal in Paris is the best shrine I've visited in my life. I [attended] Mass and [prayed] two Rosaries."</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Pictures from Amelia's pilgrimage are included above.

The children were so grateful to receive a miraculous medal. Unfortunately, we ran out of medals and many many children did not receive one. We pray God may open hearts to help us send more miraculous medals to not only the children in Kenya but other Children's Rosary groups throughout the world. The family that sent the 2,000 miraculous medals ordered them from St. Paul St. Evangelization.</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If there are any souls who feel moved to send us miraculous medals to share with children please send them to:</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Children's Rosary</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">PO Box 271743</span></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">West Hartford, CT 06127 USA</span></span></div><p style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"></span></span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;"></span></span></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">May God Bless you!</span></span></div></span></div><p style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;"></span></p>The Children's Rosaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10627084169991953055noreply@blogger.com1
