MIAMI | October marks multiple celebrations in the Archdiocese of Miami: It's the month of Respect Life and the month of the Holy Rosary, because the feast of the Holy Rosary is Oct. 7. That is also the day the Archdiocese of Miami was established in 1958.
To mark those occasions, Archbishop Thomas Wenski decided to pray the rosary with archdiocesan school children — in three languages — and create videos of their prayers.
On Sept. 27, 2022, staff from MariaVision taped him praying the sorrowful mysteries in Spanish with students from various grades at St. Michael the Archangel School in Miami.
A day earlier, he had prayed the joyful mysteries in Creole with third graders from St. Mary Cathedral School in Miami.
On Oct. 17 — the tapings were interrupted by Hurricane Ian — he prayed the sorrowful mysteries in English with students from Nativity School in Hollywood.
The archdiocesan Communications Office posted one of these videos during Mondays in October. Here's the last one, in English.
Feel free to join them in prayer.
