Some members of our Children's Rosary group were live on Radio Maria Ireland at lunchtime on Saturday 23rd August, praying the Glorious Mysteries.  The children included prayers to Blessed Pier Giorgio and Blessed Carlo in honour of their upcoming canonisations on September 7th.  A wonderful occasion for the children, with a further opportunity later in the autumn.

As it was a live broadcast, it didn't involve all members of the group.  But the monthly Children's Rosary, open to all children up to the age 14, takes place again this coming Tuesday evening August 26th at 6:15pm. The group is encouraging families to return again this month, and to invite a family to join them. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

In honour of the canonisations by Pope Leo of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati and Blessed Carlo Acutis on September 7th in Rome, two events shall take place in Holy Cross. Before the usual Sunday noon Mass, our Children's Rosary group shall meet at 11:15am at the altar of Our Lady of Fatima to pray the Rosary, and also say special prayers to the newly canonised saints. Click the READ MORE link to read these beautiful prayers.  Also, at 3pm, the first Sunday of the month's Holy Hour will be dedicated to Pier Giorgio and Carlo. In celebrating their sainthood, we are reminded of God's goodness and glory.

Details: Sunday 7th September, 11:15am Children's Rosary & 3pm Holy Hour 

Our recently formed Children's Rosary group shall meet to pray the Rosary at the altar of Our Lady of Fatima at 6:15pm on the last Tuesday of each month. Children up to age 14 are welcome and must be accompanied by an adult. 

Our first Children's Rosary on July 29th last was very well attended. It was beautiful to see so many young children gathered at Our Lady's altar and praying the Rosary with such reverence.  We look forward to welcoming the families back again and we encourage them to invite a friend, or anyone interested, to join them.

Next Rosary: 6:15pm Tuesday 26th August 2025
