The
Children of the Rosary Society is an organization of both
boys and girls of our Parish. Once they have received their
First Holy Communion, they may join this organization and
remain members until they are of age to join the Adult
Rosary Society or the Holy Name Society.
► The
primary purpose of this Society is to introduce young people
to the daily devotion of the Rosary, and to learn more about
the Church ministries.
► Some of the spiritual
activities include:
- Making
chaplets, inviting speakers to talk about Mary,
- Visiting
the Oblate Grotto for stations and adoration,
- Placing
flowers on the forgotten graves in our cemetery for All
Saints and Souls Day,
► The children of the Rosary Society visit the area Nursing
homes throughout the year to offer spiritual and emotional
support to the residents and a small care package.
► They
also enjoy the seniors meals as they help with decoration
and serving. Christmas is a wonderful time to spread cheer
so, during the weekend before Christmas children deliver a
hot turkey dinner and gifts to the seniors in our parish
community. The gratitude expressed by those who receive the
meals is truly a reward and an inspiring for children to
continue this ministry of Christian love.
► This
Society has also the fund raising activities to help with
it's projects such as: the Holy Name Society's chicken
dinner in February at which they sell baked goods, the
annual Bake Sale and raffle on Palm Sunday, and the
children’s booths held with the Adult Rosary Society Turkey
Dinner in November.
► The donations from these fundraisers are used for the
Society's ministries. We would like to thank everyone
for supporting financially and spiritually this wonderful
organization of our young Parishioners.
May Blessed
Mother of the Most Holy Rosary protect them all.
