8th Anniversary of the Children’s Rosary

8th Anniversary of the Children’s Rosary

Last Sunday we celebrated the 8th Anniversary of the Children’s Rosary. The Children’s Rosary has been meeting monthly for the past 8 years at St. Thomas the Apostle Parish in West Hartford, Connecticut USA. A single meeting has not been missed over the 8 years. Sometimes our numbers were very small but still we met. We have seen that numbers do not matter. As Mother Theresa was fond of saying, “God has not called me to be successful, He called me to be faithful”. From this little group, many other groups have followed the simple model of the Children’s Rosary and formed in parishes, schools and orphanages across the globe. We were joined last Sunday by Fr. Richard Okiria our Parochial Vicar at St. Thomas. He led Grace for our breakfast. Fr. Richard is originally from Uganda. He along with our Pastor, Fr. Moran, have been wonderfully supportive of the Children’s Rosary.

At our Anniversary celebration last Sunday, we had a little potluck breakfast. The kids made a rosary out of donuts and donut holes. After the breakfast, we went to the Chapel where  the children led the Rosary. We prayed in a special way for all the members of the Children’s Rosary. 

We are happy to report that 54 Masses were offered as part of our Children’s Rosary Anniversary Novena of Masses. Twenty-seven Masses were offered for the fulfillment of Our Lady’s plans for the Children’s Rosary. Twenty-seven Masses were offered in Thanksgiving. The last of these were offered on Holy Thursday. We thank all those who helped in providing donations for the Masses that were celebrated.
