Children's Rosary A Prayer

Children's Rosary
A Prayer Group Movement for Children

By Blythe Marie Kaufman

"What is the Children's Rosary?
The Children's Rosary is a lay prayer movement for children. It is an effort to begin in parishes rosary prayer groups comppsed of children and led by children. The target age of the children for these prayer groups is between 4 and 14 years old.

The children of Fatima and Bernadette of Lourdes were all within this age range. However, there is flexibility at each end of the range and children should never be turned away if they have a desire to be part of a prayer group."

This booklet is 32 pages. It describes the power of the rosary, our Blessed Mother as a place of refuge, the role children will play in our church, the role of parents, what is the Children's Rosary, how the Children's Rosary began, how to begin a Children's Rosary, steps to begin a Children's Rosary in your parish, and guidelines for your first Children's Rosary. It also gives the prayers of the rosary and a picture that shows how to pray the rosary. There are pictures to show the Mysteries of the Rosary.
