Unite with Us in Prayer!

Due to the spread of the Coronavirus many may be at home unable to attend school or work. Churches in many places are closed such as in our Archdiocese of Hartford, Connecticut USA. To limit the spread of the virus we are encouraged to stay away from others in the community. Yet in prayer we can remain united. We would like to humbly ask for your help. Please unite with us in prayer. While we are in our homes let us make these homes like little chapels: each family a Domestic Church. If you have children bring them together to pray the Rosary, read Scripture and simply bring all your worries and concerns to Our Lord. Before you begin praying please visit www.childrensrosary.org click the button: Join in Prayer. This will add a gold blinking light for 30 minutes on our View from Heaven Map. One of my children came over excitedly to tell me that there was a light in Gadsden, Alabama as we were praying. It does not matter if you are a single person praying or a family. Join us in prayer. You can be praying the Rosary or quietly meditating. Your choice of prayer is your own. We simply invite you to unify and let others be united with you on our View from Heaven map. 

Add your light and illuminate our dark world in prayer at www.childrensrosary.org

We have a video which helps to depict the idea behind the View from Heaven map.

"Promoting Holiness in the Next Generation"

There are so many things today that are drawing our children to grow up faster. How can we encourage holiness when children and families are so busy? Explore this topic with Blythe Kaufman who has spent the last eight years working with young people both in the United States and throughout the world.

A Spanish and English version of the workshop will be presented at 1PM

"Promoviendo Santidad in the próxima generación"

Hay tantas cosas hoy que están atrayendo a nuestros niños a crecer mas rápido. Como podemos alentar santidad cuando niños y familias están tan ocupados?

Mass Offered for Seminarians on March 1st 2020

A Mass was offered today for all seminarians that they will grow in holiness and lead us all in love. Every month we have a Mass offered for this intention. As our seminarians will be the future shepherds and our children are the future flock, it seemed a beautiful way for the children to help. 

Last month a seminarian from Paraguay contacted us. He had interest in starting the Children's Rosary in San Lorenzo, Paraguay. He asked for materials to help these efforts. A large box was put together with rosaries and Children's Rosary books in Spanish. This was sent to Paraguay several weeks ago. We eagerly anticipate its arrival.

Thank you to all who continue to send handmade rosaries to us. We also thank those who have made donations to the Children's Rosary that has allowed us to cover the shipping expense to respond to these requests. May God bless you. 

Surprise!

This morning we had a wonderful surprise. A new Children's Rosary group had registered from Dayton, Ohio USA. This is a parish based group which will hold their first meeting at St. Francis of Assisi Church today! So often we have no idea all that Our Lord is doing. We had no idea there were efforts to begin a Children's Rosary in Dayton, Ohio USA. We welcome this group to the Children's Rosary. They join a tapestry of prayer that extends to more than 30 countries. 

For those who might have interest in starting a Children's Rosary at your school or parish. Visit this LINK to learn the steps.
We also have a new instructional video on how to run a Children's Rosary in a school:

Thank you all and may God bless you.

Children Who Have Been Waiting Since July 16th Receive Rosaries!!

January 18th the members of the Children's Rosary at St. Bernard Catholic Church in Kaka Basty, Pakistan received rosaries. The long purple ones were given to the group leaders, the smaller ones to the children. This group had their first meeting on July 16th 2019. They have been waiting for rosaries since the summer! Winter is upon them and through all their patient prayers finally each child has his or her own rosary.

All the families gathered in the Church for the special meeting when rosaries were given out.

Children lined up patiently to each receive a rosary.

These children have been meeting weekly on Sunday mornings at 7AM to hold their Children's Rosary.

We wish to thank all those who with love and care make the rosaries that are sent to the Children's Rosary. We in turn share the rosaries with the children in new and existing Children's Rosary prayer groups around the world. Thank you also for those who make donations that allow us to cover the shipping expense to send these boxes of rosaries and materials both within the United States and throughout the world. 

Children's Rosary in Saroky, Pakistan Receives Rosaries!

This week we are sharing pictures from Pakistan. We received news on January 5th 2020, which was Epiphany, that a box with 419 rosaries we sent had arrived. Children in 11 new Children's Rosary groups were waiting to each receive a rosary. On January 17th we received the first pictures of the children receiving the rosaries. The group that was visited on January 17th was the Children is Rosary in Saroky, Pakistan. They held their first meeting on November 24th 2019. But the children had been meeting all that time without a rosary. Special preparations were made for the day the children were to receive their own rosary. The Church was decorated with a Children's Rosary banner.

When I asked Babu Chand, who oversees this group, if the children had been waiting a long time for their own rosary, he answered simply, "Yes." 

The rosaries for this group were laid out in a beautiful way before the children. The children lined up and each had a turn receiving a rosary.

This group has a weekly meeting time of Fridays at 5PM. 

We feel it is important to show these pictures so individuals realize how the donations that are given to the Children's Rosary have been helping children. 

These images are also hopeful. They show the faces of the young children of our next generation. These children will not only keep the rosary they received but they are using the rosaries each week in their Children's Rosary prayer group. 

If you would like to help these efforts consider making a donation to the Children's Rosary. To make a donation click HERE.

Good News Came from Pakistan on January 5th 2020

We received exciting news from Pakistan on January 5th: the Feast of Epiphany. A box of Children's Rosary materials had arrived including 419 rosaries. Almost all of these rosaries were handmade.This box had long been anticipated and children in new Children's Rosary groups had been waiting as long as 6 months to have rosaries with which to pray. The groups continued to meet while they waited and faithfully prayed. Our Lord did not disappoint the children. Their prayers were heard. On Epiphany we were told the long awaited box had arrived. 

This week we will be highlighting the visits Babu Chand, a Catechist and Children's Rosary group leader, made to these different Children's Rosary groups that waited for so long praying and hoping to receive a rosary of their own. 

We thank all those who help to make rosaries and those who donate to the Children's Rosary. This allows us to keep sending boxes such as the one pictured above.
