Preparations Underway for a Gift for Pope Leo

We are preparing a book to be given to the Holy Father during an upcoming visit to Rome. The Apostolic Nuncio for the United States has arranged that Asher and I will be able to briefly greet the Holy Father at the General Audience on June 17. We plan to present the Holy Father with a special book with personal notes from members of the Children's Rosary from around the world. We welcome submissions from children, adults, parents, priests, grandparents, and Children's Rosary group leaders. We hope that testimonials can answer the questions: what has the Children's Rosary meant to you?  Why do you love the Children's Rosary? What fruits have you seen from the Children's Rosary? The dimensions of the book are as follows: 19.5 cm wide and 26 cm tall. 

Therefore ideally submissions would not be larger than this. If groups have already completed submissions and they are larger have no fear we can be creative and we will still use them. The image above arrived this week in the mail from Ireland. Please try to send submissions as soon as you can. We will continue adding to the book until June 12 but we appreciate additional time to make the book with extra love and care.

Submissions can be sent to:

• Children's Rosary
• PO Box 271743
• West Hartford, CT 06127 USA

Please take a picture of anything that will be sent and also email it to blythe.kaufman@gmail.com In this way if the mail is delayed your sentiments can still be added.

As some groups may not be able to send submission through the postal mail email submission are also wonderful. We intend to include pictures of groups and we can even hand write in comments that are submitted so there are lots of ways to be included in this book.

We also would like to include spiritual bouquets in the book for the Holy Father as well. In addition to the testimonials about the Children's Rosary we would also like to include Spiritual Bouquet cards from Children's Rosary groups and individuals who are involved with the Children's Rosary. Spiritual Bouquet cards can be downloaded free HERE. We also have these cards available as a pdf download in German HERE. These can also be sent to the address above or if you would like to email what prayers have been said and who it is from we can fill out the cards to be included.
