Traveling Rosary Information

The purpose of the Traveling Rosary program is to unite the families of our school to pray the Rosary and ask Our Blessed Mother to intercede for the Holy Name School community, and for receiving graces, protection, and guidance from the Blessed Trinity. The Rosary is one of the most powerful and beautiful prayers because it is a reflection on the mysteries of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, and Mary’s role in our salvation. Many blessings, miracles, and intercessions have occurred due to a devotion to the Rosary. Apparitions of Our Blessed Mother, such as at Fatima and Lourdes, involved her encouragement of reciting the Rosary. Saints and popes such as St. Louis de Montfort, St. Dominic, Pope St. Pius V, and Pope St. John Paul II promoted recitation of the Rosary and its many gifts. The Catechism of the Catholic Church discusses the Rosary and regards Mary as the Mother of God.

Holy Name Traveling Rosary families (students and staff) who would like to volunteer will sign up for one week during the year. During their week, the family will pick up the Traveling Rosary in the school office. The following contents of the Traveling Rosary have all been carefully selected or handmade especially for our school, and blessed by Monsignor Zenz.

✤ The Immaculate Heart Heavenly Statue of Our Blessed Mother
✤ Six rosaries (two Ghirelli rosaries & four handmade for our school)
✤ “The Rosary in Art for Children” book
✤ Instructions book
✤ Intentions book
✤ Contents box made by a Holy Name parent

The statue of Our Blessed Mother will be displayed in a prominent and safe place in the host family's home for the entire week. On at least three separate days during the week, using the rosaries and instructions in the box, they will recite the Rosary together as a family in the presence of the statue. Each day of recitation, we ask that the family reflect on a different set of Mysteries, which are explained in the instructions. We also request that the intentions of each family’s Rosaries be for the Blessed Trinity to help Holy Name School carry out the will of God and come into closer union with Jesus. Families are also invited to pray for their own intentions or any intentions in the Intention book. We hope that saying the Rosary for our community will help your family find a quiet and peaceful time together, and perhaps continue a devotion and tradition of saying the Rosary as a family. You can read what school families have said about hosting the Traveling Rosary HERE. Thank you for considering uniting in prayer with us, and we wish you an abundance of the spiritual fruits of the Rosary from God through Our Blessed Mother’s intercession.
