Pope Leo XIV to pray rosary with 700 children at Vatican

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV will pray the rosary for peace with between 700 and 1,000 children on October 1 at the Lourdes Grotto in the Vatican Gardens. The children, coming from various schools and parishes in Rome, will begin praying at 5:00 p.m. before the pope joins them.

The gathering marks the start of the One Million Children Praying the Rosary campaign, organized by the Kirche in Not foundation. For the first time, the campaign will span a full week from October 1 to October 7, concluding on the feast of the Queen of the Rosary. This extension allows families, schools, and pastoral communities to choose their own day to pray for peace and unity.
