Prayers for Pope Leo's Health

Today Pope Leo at his Sunday Angelus announced: 

“Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers. Thank you, and happy Sunday!”

As we were holding our Children's Rosary at St. Thomas the Apostle Church this morning, we were able to pray for his upcoming surgery. Eleven children attended the meeting today.

We encourage other Children's Rosary prayer groups to also pray for the Holy Father's health.

Children's Rosary Meeting at St. Peter Claver Church, West Hartford, Connecticut October 4, 2026

We were very excited to have a meeting of the Children's Rosary on the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi at the Parish of St. Peter Claver. This being the 800 year anniversary of St. Francis' passing and a Jubilee year of St. Francis the meeting was very special. The children knelt in prayer with a small statue of St. Francis by the podium. We had two young children who had never attended a Children's Rosary. They were eager to participate. Two older teens, CJ and Ryan acted as mentors for the children and accompanied them to the podium as each led.

Group leader Ellen Fox is seen in the center of the top picture. We sang the theme song for the Children's Rosary which is called "Rosary Children" at the conclusion of the meeting. There was then time for some snacks including homemade cookies.
