Children's Rosary to Meet Each Monday at Immaculate Heart Primary School in Nbuan, Nigeria

Fr. Miapkwap shared two Children's Rosary t shirts as well as handmade rosaries and prayer books.

Children Explain Why the Children's Rosary Has Been Important in Their Lives

 

We recently received these lovely letters from a family in Front Royal, Virginia. The children first learned about the Children's Rosary through the Children's Rosary which airs on EWTN. They obtained the DVD and prayed along with it from home. Then later after several years they began a Children's Rosary in their parish that meets weekly in front of the Blessed Sacrament each Thursday. As we are preparing a book to give to Pope Leo at a Papal Audience in Rome, they sent in letters sharing why the Children's Rosary has been important to them.

Mass Offered for All the Members of the Children's Rosary on May 25, 2026

A Mass was offered on May 25, 2026 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. 

The picture included in this post was taken during a May Crowning and Children's Rosary at St Peter Claver Church in West Hartford, Connecticut in 2019. A few days ago, I happened to stumble on the picture in a Children's Rosary post. As today is the Feast of Mary Mother of the Church, it seemed a beautiful example of how honoring and drawing close to Our Blessed Mother brings a harvest of blessings and a deeper love of Christ. Asher who when the picture was taken was 12, now is 19 and is a seminarian through the Archdiocese of Hartford, Connecticut. He left on June 28 2025 at the age of 18 to spread the Children's Rosary through Europe and Africa for a year. This missionary adventure has taken him to France, Belgium, Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar, South Africa, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Angola, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, Botswana, and Italy. The journey is not nearly finished and he is looking forward to traveling to the Netherlands next week.

Celebrating the Feast of St. Rita in Cascia, Italy

On May 22, we celebrated the Feast of St. Rita. Asher, who is spending a year spreading the Children's Rosary in Europe and Africa, received the suggestion from a priest to travel to Cascia on the Feast of St. Rita. It was an excellent suggestion. Thus after his Italian classes ended at noon in Assisi he set out to catch a series of buses to arrive in Cascia for a visit to the Basilica named after St Rita. Things began to look a bit bleak when the bus meant to take him the first leg of the journey buzzed by without stopping. Asher had in error been on the wrong side of the street. Finding a ride was not easy but he finally met with success. Praise God he arrived in time to pray in the Basilica of St. Rita. This Church houses the incorrupt body of St. Rita. Asher was able to pray for all the members of the Children's Rosary before the relic. As his visit was late in the day he was one of the last people to pray in the Church before it was locked.

Another Church in Cascia was open a bit longer. This was a Church named after St. Francis of Assisi. Asher went there to pray next. While praying he realized there was someone else in the Church praying and the man was wearing a priestly collar. Asher inquired if he was the parish priest. He responded that he was. This provided a wonderful opportunity for Asher to share information about the Children's Rosary. The priest seemed interested and thought there might be an opportunity for him to introduce the Children's Rosary in his parish. Praise God, celebrating the Feast of St. Rita in Cascia was full of tremendous blessings.
