New Children's Rosary at Stift Heiligenkreuz, Austria

We are excited to announce the formation of a new Children's Rosary at Stift Heiligenkreuz. Translated from German this means Holy Cross Abbey. It is the oldest continuously active Cistercian monastery in the world. The name of the abbey originates from a relic of the True Cross which was donated in 1188. This abbey is approximately 18 miles from Vienna. 

The first meeting of the Children's Rosary at Stift Heiligenkreuz was January 21 the feast of St Agnes. Pater Leo Maria de Andrés Brunete O.Cist. sent us a picture from their third meeting on March 25, 2026. 

We had the blessing to stay at Stift Heiligenkreuz in 2022. It has long been a hope that a Children's Rosary could begin there.
