This article from a Dominican priest has excellent advice about adding the rosary to your family routine (or modifying it a bit to get the real “rosary power” out of the family prayer).  He has some great suggestions, just click on the button below.

NOTE: Interestingly, 80 years ago Pope Saint John Paul II applied one of the recommended practices with his boys’ youth group.  You can learn more from the story of his life, which you can get here in a download or (better yet–especially for children who like to touch and hold something and listen in the car) get the audio CD here.

During the month of the Rosary, we are offering many of our Rosary resources at discounted prices! We hope that this will help families pray a Rosary (or even just a decade!) every day during this special month. You can find our Mysteries of the Rosary posters, our Bead-by-Bead Rosary books, and our Audio Scriptural Rosary to help reinvigorate your family Rosary!

Here is what Catholic families have said about our Rosary prayer aids:

“These are the Best rosary books ever! I bought the Joyful Mysteries and now bought the whole set. The kids do not grumble anymore with this book. I think it’s one of the best ways that our family can meditate on the mysteries and pray along with the story in simple language. We pray a decade almost every night and they have even been asking about it if we forget.”

— Stephanie

“I love having these beautiful artwork to contemplate the various mysteries in larger format. I already frequently use the John Paul II Rosary book by Tom Hoopes (also love) and think these will be great in a larger group setting like at a church garden, chapel space to help contemplation during rosary prayer.”

— Bridget

“I have a fellow parishioner who gave me a copy of this book at a daily rosary we pray after Mass each day. I liked so much that I ordered 3 more to give to my daughter and some friends. I love praying the rosary with Saint John Paul II book on the rosary! Such a blessed gift from him!”

— Sandra
