Barrel Number Two Leaves Today!

Today a barrel containing 7,860 Rosaries left on the first part of its journey. The ultimate destination is Uganda!! The barrel also contains a 10 inch statue of St. John Paul II that was donated to the Children's Rosary as well as 50 Children's Rosary books. Fr. Richard picked up the barrel tonight just after 6PM. Before it went in his car, he blessed it.

Fr. Richard not only blessed the Rosaries but also conveyed a blessing on those who helped make the rosaries that were included in the container. Almost all of the rosaries which were sent were handmade. 

This barrel will join our previous barrel in a shipping container. The two barrels will travel together from the United States to Uganda - a trip that will take approximately 3 months. 
Our previous barrel contained 1,000 Children's Rosary books and 5,292 Rosaries.

Between the two barrels the total number of rosaries being sent to Uganda is

13,152  Rosaries!

These rosaries will help in initiating Children's Rosary groups in 30 schools in Uganda.

We are in need of donations to help cover the expense of shipping and also the printing cost for the books that have been sent. Donations can be made electronically HERE or mailed directly to Children's Rosary.

Mass Offered on October 25th 2018 for Members of the Children's Rosary

A Mass was offered today 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 the this intention on the 25th of each month. The Eucharist is such a powerful gift from Our Lord that when I wanted to extend thanksgiving to all of you I knew of no better way to express my gratitude.  May Our Lord's love be poured down on all of you through the powerful sacrifice of the Holy Mass.

St Anthony Mary Claret's Memories of the Rosary

Today is the Feast of St. Anthony Mary Claret.

Some time ago my children and I began reading the autobiography of St. Anthony Mary Claret. He had a great devotion to Our Lady and a love of the Rosary. In his autobiography he shared, "The gift of rosary beads, given me when still a small boy, I received as if it were the acquisition of the greatest treasure. I began to use it for reciting the Rosary with the rest of the school children." He goes on to share that, "since the day I learned how to pray the Rosary, I not only recited it in the church, but also at home every night, as was the custom of my parents." 

He also listed prayer as one of the means he used to make his priestly ministry fruitful. In adulthood as a priest he routinely preached on the Rosary. He also recited the Rosary with the Congregation before giving a Sermon. 

Last weekend we had the opportunity to go to the Berkshires which is in Western Massachusetts USA. This is a region known for its beautiful foliage in the fall and autumn harvest of apples and other fruits and vegetables. Asher, our 11 year son, took the picture at the top of the post last weekend at the farm. Several of the other pictures were taken at prior visits to the orchard. We are in the season of fall harvest. It is interestingly when reflecting on the words of St. Anthony Mary Claret that the month of the Rosary sits perfectly within the harvest season. As we look at all these fantastic pumpkins and squash, may we remember how prayer can bring a bounty of of spiritual fruits.

Children's Rosary in Pennsylvania Celebrates 4th Anniversary!

Last week we received this picture from our Children's Rosary at St. Patrick's Church in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania USA. They were celebrating their 4th Anniversary! This group meets on the third Monday of the month in the evening. The group leader shared they had 7 children attend their Rosary this month.

We thank the children for their prayers! 

Happy Feast of St. John Paul II

Today we have good news to share. A new Children's Rosary met for the first time today in a parish named after St. John Paul the Great. The new group met in Torrington, Connecticut USA. The group leader reported that approximately 10 families with their children attended. The new group is a mixture of English and Spanish speaking children. The group was able to alternate their prayers with decades in English and Spanish.

We also received several weeks ago a statue of St. John Paul II shown above. This was donated to the Children's Rosary. We plan to send this statue to Uganda in the next barrel that will be sent out.  We are grateful to the person who donated the statue and we are sure the children will love it.  We wish you all a very special and blessed Feast of St. John Paul II.

St. John Paul II Pray for us!

Children's Rosary in Michigan Celebrates 1 Year Anniversary!

Yesterday we received these pictures from the Children's Rosary at Holy Family Church in Novi, Michigan. They met yesterday to hold a Children's Rosary and celebrate their 1 year anniversary.
After the Rosary, they came together to celebrate with an anniversary cake. 

We thank all the groups that faithfully continue to meet in their groups. 

We Packed a Box of Rosaries and then to Our Surprise...

There are many children who are part of the Children's Rosary who have been waiting for rosaries in Pakistan. We received a request for rosaries many months ago. Due to the cost of shipping, we have been delayed in sending a box to them.

On October 13th 2018, we were able to send 450 handmade rosaries to them. After we backed the large flat rate box, we had to weigh it. To our surprise, it was exactly 13.0 pounds!  As the 13th has always held such an important significance with the apparitions in Fatima it seemed a happy surprise to see the package weighed exactly 13 pounds. 

If you would like to sponsor a package to a Children's Rosary prayer group, donations can be made out to Children's Rosary and mailed to :
PO Box 271743
West Hartford CT 06127 USA
Donations can also be made online HERE

Thank you all and may God bless you for your generosity which helps us reach more children.
