October Meeting of the Children's Rosary in Makawao, Hawaii

We received this beautiful picture of the Children's Rosary at St. Joseph Church in Makawao, Hawaii today. The picture was taken at their October 8th meeting. One of the group leaders reported that the group is growing. Twenty-eight children attended the October meeting!

Mass Offered on October 13, 2026 for the Holy Souls in Purgatory

A Mass was offered on October 13, 2026 for the Holy Souls. Currently the Children's Rosary has four monthly Masses offered. On the first of each month, a Mass is offered for seminarians that they will grow in holiness and lead us in love, on the first Saturday a Mass is offered for renewal of family prayer, and on the 25th of the month a Mass is offered for all the members of the Children's Rosary and all who help the Children's Rosary. Additionally We have a monthly Mass offered for the Holy Souls in Purgatory on the 13th of each month.

The Catechism is clear that we should help them. "In full consciousness of this communion  of the whole Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, the Church in its pilgrim members, from the very earliest days of the Christian religion, has honored with great respect the memory of the dead; and 'because it is a holy and a wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed from their sins' she offers her suffrages for them." Our prayer for them is capable not only of helping them, but also of making their intercession for us effective". (CCC958)

The Children's Rosary also has made it a priority for many years to help the Holy Souls and seek their intercession.

Video Release from Asher's One Year Mission Trip to Spread the Children's Rosary

We are excited to share a short five minute video that highlights the one year trip Asher made to spread the Children's Rosary. The complete trip involved visits to 20 countries including France, Belgium, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya, Madagascar, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Angola, South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Ireland and Bosnia. We also released a short video with reflections I shared from St Peter's Square in Rome during our visit this summer.

Thank you to those who are praying for Asher. He began studies at Our Lady of Providence Seminary in September, which is the road toward priesthood through the Archdiocese of Hartford. The seminary is in Providence, Rhode Island, and seminarians take classes at Providence College. He is absolutely loving studies and the time he has with his fellow seminarians.

Prayers for Pope Leo's Health

Today Pope Leo at his Sunday Angelus announced: 

“Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers. Thank you, and happy Sunday!”

As we were holding our Children's Rosary at St. Thomas the Apostle Church this morning, we were able to pray for his upcoming surgery. Eleven children attended the meeting today.

We encourage other Children's Rosary prayer groups to also pray for the Holy Father's health.

Children's Rosary Meeting at St. Peter Claver Church, West Hartford, Connecticut October 4, 2026

We were very excited to have a meeting of the Children's Rosary on the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi at the Parish of St. Peter Claver. This being the 800 year anniversary of St. Francis' passing and a Jubilee year of St. Francis the meeting was very special. The children knelt in prayer with a small statue of St. Francis by the podium. We had two young children who had never attended a Children's Rosary. They were eager to participate. Two older teens, CJ and Ryan acted as mentors for the children and accompanied them to the podium as each led.

Group leader Ellen Fox is seen in the center of the top picture. We sang the theme song for the Children's Rosary which is called "Rosary Children" at the conclusion of the meeting. There was then time for some snacks including homemade cookies.
