Building a community of prayer in nursing homes around the US, The Rosary Team guides seniors through some 75,000 Rosaries per year.
A prayer ministry developed in Colorado – and endorsed by Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila of Denver – is bringing the Rosary to seniors in nursing homes. Started in 2019, the Rosary Team sends volunteers to lead seniors through the Holy Rosary. The ministry has been so well received that it has expanded to be active in 12 other states, drawing in volunteers from parishes all over.
The Rosary Team gathers and supports volunteers who dedicate one hour per week to praying at nursing homes. Creating a structured routine, each group of volunteers visits the same nursing home at the same time each week. The volunteers perform a corporal work of mercy, while building relationships with residents and even bringing some of them back to their faith.
