Pope Leo XIV to pray Rosary with 700-1000 children in Vatican

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV will pray the Rosary for peace with 700 to 1,000 children on October 1 in the Vatican Gardens. The children, coming from various schools and parishes in Rome, will join the Pope to begin a week of prayer.

The event marks the start of the World Prayer Week for the "One Million Children Praying the Rosary" initiative, organized by the Pontifical Foundation Aid to the Church in Need. For the first time, the campaign will span an entire week from October 1 to October 7, allowing families, schools, and pastoral communities across different continents to choose a day to pray for peace and unity. The week of prayer will conclude on October 7, the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.
