New Children's Rosary Forms in Louisiana, USA

 

We are excited to announce that a new Children's Rosary is forming at St. Martin of Tours Parish in St. Martinville, Louisiana. In anticipation of their first meeting May 14, 2022 they asked for some handmade rosaries for the children to use. This past week we sent 30 rosaries to them. We thank those who continue to make handmade rosaries for the Children's Rosary.

We welcome the children of this new group. It is a wonderful gift to give Our Blessed Mother during the month of May.

8,497 Handmade Rosaries Leave for Tanzania!

 

On the last day of our anniversary novena of Masses, we had a wonderful gift. One large barrel of handmade rosaries left for Tanzania. As it is always better to give then receive, we felt great joy seeing the rosaries that so many individuals had worked to make with love leave for their destination of Moshi, Tanzania. 

The barrel contained not only rosaries but also a large Children's Rosary banner, 5 Children's Rosary t-shirts, 40 Children's Rosary books, and 1 Child Consecration book.

This barrel will be loaded into a shipping container and make a long sea voyage to Africa. 

Once in Dar es Salaam, it will travel over land to the diocese of Moshi.  Fr. William Ruwaichi, who is the Education Director for the Catholic Diocese of Moshi, waits to receive these rosaries. This past week he wrote of new groups he had helped to establish in the neighboring diocese. The following message accompanied the picture below. 

"Some children in Kahama Diocese in Tanzania praying rosary on Sunday evening.  Fr. Ulrick Riziki helped me to form the group. We have about nine groups in Kahama."

The bottom picture is from the Children's Rosary at Fr. Ruwaichi's parish of Holy Mary- Mnazi Mmoja, Moshi Diocese. He also wrote of his hope to continue to spread the Children's Rosary groups in more primary schools. The rosaries and materials included in this barrel will help with his efforts. Thank you to all who helped through prayer, financial donations, and those who made all the rosaries. May God bless you all.

Join Us in Praying the Divine Mercy Novena Beginning April 15, 2022

 

Dear Friends,

Good Friday is the day that Jesus asked Saint Faustina that a 9 day novena to the Divine Mercy be initiated.  He gave her a different group of souls to pray for each day. Along with those intentions the Chaplet of Divine Mercy is said as well. The novena leads up to Divine Mercy Sunday instituted by Pope John Paul II. Attached is a link to the Divine Mercy Novena and how to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. 

May the Children’s Rosary humbly ask that you include our intention with the intentions you are praying this Divine Mercy Novena. We wish for Our Lord to guide the Children's Rosary in the way that it most pleasing to Him as we continue forward.

Please remember that to become a member of the Children’s Rosary you only have to tell Our Lord in your heart of your desire to join us and then you will be included in all of these novenas and rosaries said daily. We thank you!

Intention:

MAY THE CHILDREN’S ROSARY, THEIR FAMILIES, THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CHILDREN’S ROSARY INCLUDING OUR PRIESTS, OUR BISHOP AND OUR HOLY FATHER THE POPE BE THE EXTENDED HANDS OF OUR BLESSED MOTHER AND HER SON. MAY WE GATHER A GREAT MANY SOULS ESPECIALLY YOUNG PEOPLE FOR THE LORD.  MAY WE EXPERIENCE RENEWAL OF FAMILY PRAYER AND SPREAD IT ACROSS THE GLOBE. MAY A GREAT MANY PEOPLE BE BROUGHT TO THE CHILDREN'S ROSARY THAT WE MAY BLANKET THE EARTH WITH PEOPLE WANTING TO BE THE EXTENDED HANDS OF MARY AND JESUS. AMEN

We are excited to share that we have a beautiful recording of the children leading the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.  We invite you to pray with them as you say your novena.

Happy Eleventh Anniversary of the Children's Rosary

 

Today we met for the Children's Rosary in the very chapel where our first meeting was held 11 years ago today. It was a small group of us, but we felt great blessings. Peyton, age five, has grown up over the past three years coming to the Children's Rosary. She has a great love of Our Blessed Mother and the Rosary. She led several decades today and also at the end of the Rosary was so excited to lead our theme song, "Rosary Children". 

This year we have been able to arrange 5 Masses each day of the 18 day Anniversary Novena of Masses. Yesterday concluded our 9 days of Masses for the Fulfillment of Our Lady's Plans for the Children's Rosary. Today began the daily Masses in Thanksgiving. In total we will have at least 90 Masses celebrated over the 18 days.

Thank you to all who participate in the Children's Rosary or help in any way. 

Meet the New Children's Rosary from St. Dominic College Elementary Department

 

This week we received a lovely email from Rev. Ronaldo Manabat, the Rector of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Batanes, Philippines. He had a lovely picture to share from one of the new Children's Rosary groups. 

He wrote, "This is the Children’s Rosary at St. Dominic College Elementary Department. The first meeting was March 14, 2022 and they are meeting every Monday morning after their flag ceremony. The flag ceremony is at 7:30am and the meeting is at 8:00am. They are using the Cathedral Church for the meeting as the school is just near the Cathedral."

We warmly welcome this new Children's Rosary group! We thank Rev. Ronaldo Manabat who has helped in establishing twenty-five Children's Rosary groups. 

New Children's Rosary in Trowbridge, England

A new Children's Rosary has formed at St. John the Baptist Church in Trowbridge, England. Their first meeting was March 6, 2022. At the first meeting there were 8 families (17 children) and 13 adults. 

The pictures included in this post were all sent this week from the Children's Rosary group leader. All the children especially the little ones very much enjoyed placing the fresh flowers at the foot of Our Lady. In the photo above, one of the older children accompanies a littler one in placing a flower before a statue of Our Lady. 

The group leader had a creative idea of how to use the Children's Rosary logo on stickers. She added a cute note on each homemade treat that was sent home with a child at the end of the meeting.

She also used the stickers on candles to make them special for her Children's Rosary. 

After each Children's Rosary group leader registers a group and is approved, they then have access to our Children's Rosary logo. The logo is currently available in English, Spanish and French. This logo can be added to stickers as is shown below.

We welcome the children and families from Trowbridge, England to the Children's Rosary!
