Children's Rosary Meets on the Feast of the Holy Face of Jesus

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Face of Jesus. The Children's Rosary at St. Peter Claver in West Hartford, Connecticut, USA met at 4:00 p.m. in the Church. Five children attended. They each took turns leading a decade of the Rosary. Each child had at least one turn placing roses before the statue of Mary and image of the Holy Face of Jesus. One of the boys, from the very first meeting of the Children's Rosary at St. Peter Claver, has made it a practice to kiss the rose before he lays it before Our Blessed Mother. He continued this practice today. One of the other children also began to do this. It was a very tender example of love for Our Blessed Mother. We have included pictures from the meeting.

Children's Rosary Celebrates Third Birthday with a Candlelit Rosary

We received these lovely pictures from the meeting on February 23, 2025 which marked the third anniversary for this group located in Castledawson, Northern Ireland. After having attended the last Zoom meeting for group leaders in Ireland and UK, Lynn Gallagher took the inspiration from one of the groups which used candles to make a special anniversary candlelit Rosary. The group leader also shared that the children enjoyed homemade cupcakes after the Rosary was completed and that the children enjoyed running around outside.

Children's Rosary in Hamburg, Germany, Makes Homemade Votive Candle Holders for Lent

The Children's Rosary group leader in Hamburg, Germany, shared this note:
Last Saturday we had a short explanation of the Lenten time and prayed the Rosary together. Then we made wooden Candelabra, to emphasize prayer in the Lenten time. The wood came from an Abbey near Cologne, "Maria Wald".

It is always lovely to see the creativity and traditions of the different Children's Rosary groups.

2025 Divine Mercy Conference in Dublin, Ireland

 A special thank you to Catherine, Anne-Marie, Joan, Helena, Anne and also our young people Emma, Anna,Jessica and Isabella who helped at the Children's Rosary booth. Unfortunately other Children's Rosary volunteers that came to help were turned away as it was a sold out event. We very much appreciate their efforts to come and help.

In the photo above, Tracy and Siobhan from the Knocknacarra Children's Rosary stopped by the booth. Six hundred informational Children's Rosary flyers were handed out. One of the people who helped at the booth shared, It was a great weekend to unite so many leaders who may never have met before. We met those who had joined our Zoom information meetings recently and lots of new wonderful people from all over Ireland. Many people have said how they felt called to the Children’s Rosary and would love to start a group in their area.

There will be another event at Knock Shrine this weekend, and there will again be a Children's Rosary booth.

A Mass Was Offered on February 25, 2025 for All the Members of the Children's Rosary

A Mass was offered on February 25, 2025, 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 this intention on the twenty-fifth of each month. The Eucharist is such a powerful gift from Our Lord that when we wanted to extend thanksgiving to all of you, we knew of no better way to express gratitude. May Our Lord's love be poured down on all of you through the powerful sacrifice of the Holy Mass. 

A new Children's Rosary has formed at École Sainte-Marie, Mère de Dieu, a small private French-speaking Catholic school in Canada. The school is on the property of the Church shown above.
