Courtney McGrailThe Archdiocese of Armagh is holding a ‘Rosary Relay’ in schools and parishes during the month of May as part of the Year of Mercy.
Announcing the prayer initiative, Archbishop Eamon Martin said his vision is to “unite the pupils of the Archdiocese of Armagh in prayer during the month of May and then, through their example, to pass on the good news about the Rosary to families and others in the community”.
He said the aim of the project was to have as many young people as possible learn to pray together a decade of the Rosary at 12noon each day during the month of May and pass on the story of the Rosary to their families and friends.
The archdiocese has despatched 19,000 rosaries as well as 19,000 rosary prayer cards as part of the project. New rosary resources have also been made available on the diocesan website: www.archdioceseofarmagh.com
