My children started their schooling in a Catholic preschool at our church. When it was time for them to start elementary school, they went off to a private Catholic school, one by one. Unfortunately, the costs kept rising each year, and it eventually proved to be too expensive for us. We miss the school, but what my kids probably miss most is something called First Friday. Every “First Friday” of each month, the school held an early morning rosary service. My husband and the kids attended every month, without fail. I even made it a few times! I think it’s because of that early familiarity with the rosary, that my children continue to use it today. My girls each have their very own rosary that they received for their 1st Holy Communion, and my son will get his own when he received Communion for the first time in May.
The Rosary Foundation is a group that is dedicated to promoting the benefits and power of rosary prayer. And yes, the rosary is a Catholic prayer, but they welcome anyone willing to pray. The foundation wants to create rosary awareness and they’re going high tech to do it, by placing ads in search engines. By promoting the rosary, the group hopes to get as many people possible saying the rosary daily to work towards world peace. The Rosary Foundation is also raising money for catholic charity by selling rosary bracelets. (There’s even one with a breast cancer theme!)
