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. 26, 2022, he prayed the joyful mysteries in Creole with third graders from St. Mary Cathedral School in Miami.
A day later, staff from MariaVision taped him praying the sorrowful mysteries in Spanish with students from various grades at St. Michael the Archangel School in Miami.
Later this month — the tapings were interrupted by Hurricane Ian — he will be praying the glorious mysteries in English with students from Nativity School in Hollywood.
The archdiocesan Communications Office will be posting one of these videos upcoming Mondays in October. Here's the second one, in Creole.
Feel free to join them in prayer.
