The Children's Rosary at St. Elias Parish in Lebanon Honors the Nativity of Mary


The Children's Rosary at St. Elias Rihaniyeh Parish, Lebanon held their Children's Rosary today. They closed the meeting with a cake in honor of the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary that was celebrated yesterday. Fr. Youssef Abi Zeid said they chose to put a candle indicating 2042 years. This was as an estimate assuming Our Blessed Mother was 16 when Jesus was born. A special thank you to Lili who made the cake and to Marie-Ange the Children's Rosary group leader at the parish. 

The children took turns placing roses beneath an image of Mary during the Rosary.

Children's Rosary at the Glastonbury Pilgrimage 2026

We received these beautiful pictures from today's Glastonbury Pilgrimage in England. The Children's Rosary was once again represented at the yearly event. Thank you to Sinead Peacock and members of the Children's Rosary for representing the Children's Rosary there.
The Clifton Diocese is responsible for this annual pilgrimage to Glastonbury, one of England’s most sacred Christian sites. Glastonbury is known for its rich Christian heritage and legendary connections to Joseph of Arimathea. The pilgrimage is a significant event that brings together Catholics from across the South West to honour the Virgin Mary, specifically Our Lady of Glastonbury.

Children’s Rosary at the CELEBRATE Festival Sussex, England August 2026


Children’s Rosary at the CELEBRATE Festival, Worth School (15–19 August 2026)
 

We received this lovely note from Children's Rosary group leader Sinead Peacock:

This year we were delighted to bring the Children’s Rosary to the CELEBRATE Festival at Worth School in Sussex. The five‑day gathering was full of joy, prayer, and fellowship, with the theme “Let There Be Light” inspiring everyone who attended.

Our stall quickly became a lively meeting place. From Sunday through Wednesday—thanks to securing a second table—I was able to welcome families throughout the day. Word soon spread that we had balloons, and before long children were flocking over with bright smiles. Each visit became a beautiful opportunity to share the Children’s Rosary: offering prayer cards, miraculous medals, rosary beads, leaflets, and of course a Children’s Rosary balloon.

Many wonderful conversations unfolded with parents, grandparents, catechists, teachers and young people who were eager to learn more about the prayer groups. It was a blessing to witness such openness and enthusiasm.

We have already booked to return next year, and we hope to explore a little fundraising with our parish so we can secure a full table again. Thank you to Catherine for the Children's Rosary resources (especially the balloons!) and  to Kevin and all the Catenians who generously supplied the rosary beads and prayer cards for our family, parish and school packs, and to everyone who stopped by—your encouragement truly lit up our days.
