Fourth Day of Christmas 2025

 

We are grateful to Zosia from Ontario, Canada for sharing her "Christ is Born" sign. As part of our efforts to bring Christ back to the the center of Christmas, we have invited individuals and families to put a "Patiently Waiting" sign in their window through Advent. On Christmas the "Patiently Waiting" sign comes down and one that reads "Christ is Born" goes up for the whole Christmas season.

Today we also celebrate the feast of the Holy Family. Interestingly, the Children's Rosary first formed in West Hartford, Connecticut in "Holy Family" chapel at St. Thomas the Apostle Church. One of the fruits we have seen through the Children's Rosary is a strengthening of families. We also have had a monthly Mass offered for renewal of family prayer for over 12 years. 

Here are some testimonials of how the Children's Rosary has helped families. The first video shares the story of a grandfather who brought his grandchildren to the Children's Rosary. 

The second testimonial is from a priest who witnessed how broken families in his parish started coming back together as a result of children participating in the Children's Rosary in his parish. In particular he discussed how fathers in particular started returning to their families and also attending Mass.
