The Children’s Rosary is a lay prayer group for children. It is composed of children and led by children. It is a means for parents to expose their children to the prayer of the Holy Rosary at an early age and develop a faith steeped in the Tradition of the Catholic Church.
This prayer group movement for children was begun in 2011 by Blythe Kaufman, a homeschooling mother of three. Word began to spread about the Children’s Rosary and soon more groups began to form around the United States. Over time new groups in Kenya, Great Britain, Australia, Angola, Canada, Ecuador, Pakistan, Timor Leste, Nigeria,
Zimbabwe, and the Philippines followed. Recently, the Children’s Rosary® prayer group celebrated its 6th anniversary.
With so many challenges facing children today, the Children’s Rosary is a place of support, a place children can come to pray with other children and have other children pray for them. Between 5-10 Children’s Rosary groups meet per day around the world, each of them lifting up the other members in prayer. In this way, all the members
of the Children’s Rosary are covered in a blanket of prayers each day. The Children’s Rosary has a Mass offered for all members each month.
All children between the ages of 4-14 are invited to participate in the Children’s Rosary Prayer Group. Although this is the target age, no child with an interest to participate will be turned away. Of special note are children with disabilities who may be older in age. Parents and other adults are also encouraged to attend. They are the special
“guardian angels” of this group. Through prayer of the Rosary, Our Lady will guide our young people while at the same time, sanctify our families and parish.
