During our time in Rome, we met Fr. Diaz, an Augustinian priest (shown left) and Fr. Julian, who is also an Augustinian from Colombia. Fr Julian was eager to take Children's Rosary materials and rosaries to help begin Children's Rosary groups when he returns to Colombia.
Fr. Diaz is the Postulator for several causes in consideration for sainthood for the Augustinian order. We met him on the eve of the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul. He thought the Children's Rosary was marvelous and he said he did not have an intention for his first Saturday Masses and would like to offer his Mass for the Children's Rosary. The following evening he invited us to the Augustinian house adjacent to the Vatican. He gave us a tour and pointed out several pictures of Pope Leo during his time as superior of the Augustinians.
Fr. Diaz had already reached out to contacts in his home country of Panama to help spread the Children's Rosary. We gave him Children's Rosary books and a Child Consecration book to help his efforts to spread the Children's Rosary.
