Children's Rosary
The Children's Rosary® is a prayer group movement that was begun out of love for Our Lady and Her Son. 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.

We are excited to share that Bishop Donal McKeown of the Derry Diocese in Northern Ireland will be using the book Child Consecration: To Jesus through Mary—Following in the Spirit of St. Thérèse, the Little Flower for himself and his Diocese beginning January 9, 2025. In anticipation of the Consecration journey, Bishop McKeown plans to invite the faithful of his diocese to join him at the two day St. Bernadette of Lourdes relic visit October 13 and 14.

Children's Rosary at the All Ireland Rosary Rally
An estimated 10,500 people of all ages travelled from all corners of Ireland to attend the annual All Ireland Rosary Rally in Knock International Eucharistic and Marian Shrine in Ireland on Saturday, 1st June 2024. What was particularly remarkable was the number of families and young people who attended. It was very encouraging to see children there from various schools who have Children’s Rosary groups. Several children from the Children’s Rosary led the Rosary on the day.
They were a powerful and beautiful witness to the love that children have for the Rosary. Many people expressed their joy in seeing the children, and commented on how much ‘hope’ it gives them for the future of our Catholic faith. The Children’s Rosary team hosted a Rosary and Scapular making workshop and distributed over 1,500 flyers on the day. Several new Children’s Rosary groups are now forming in schools and parishes since the All-Ireland Rosary Rally this year. During the day, over 200 adults and children took part in Ireland’s first ever Living Rosary, where people both young and old, wearing white and different colour-shirts formed a gigantic Rosary. Dana finished proceedings by singing the hymn which she wrote Our Lady of Knock.

New Children's Rosary Group Forms in Wadsworth, Ohio, USA
We are excited to welcome a new Children's Rosary group. They are the Children's Rosary at Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish in Wadsworth, Ohio. They held their first meeting today. They began by Consecrating the group to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This is something we ask each Children's Rosary group to do at the first meeting. This is not a personal Consecration of the children, but rather a Consecration of the group. In this way the group is under the protection and guidance of Christ and His Mother. This new group will be meeting on the first Saturday of each month. They shared a picture from their first meeting.

A Mass Was Offered on October 1, 2024 for Seminarians
The young men are photographed above with Fr. Okot of St. Mary's Kitgum Mission Parish in the Gulu Archdiocese of Uganda. This is a northern diocese near the border with South Sudan. Fr. Okot has asked these young men to help him begin Children's Rosary prayer groups throughout his parish. St. Mary's Kitgum Parish has not only the main Church but many outposts to help serve people who live at a distance.
We ask for prayers for these men and also that their efforts to begin Children's Rosary prayer groups will be fruitful. As we enter the month of the Rosary, it is beautiful to see the devotion of the Rosary being passed to the next generation of children and priests. We also celebrate the Feast of St. Thérèse de Lisieux who discerned her vocation early and was allowed to enter religious life at the age of 15.
