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.
