Children of Mary Rosary Group at the Good Shepherd Church Arnold, Nottingham
For the month of October, the Good Shepherd Children's Liturgy Group launched its inaugural Rosary Group for the Children
of the Parish. It has been gratifying to see that the Rosary has been very well attended by our Children, with parents and
adults also coming along as well.
All Children were given a set of Rosary Beads when they first attended but it has been lovely to see a number now bringing
their own personal beads along to the Group. In addition to praying the Rosary, the Children participated in a number of
additional ways. For example, placing a rose in a vase for Our Lady; writing their own petition to Our Lady which were then
placed onto the altar; reading the introduction to the Mysteries and; taking home a book of pictures of the Mysteries, and
returning them coloured in. These will now be laminated and used in future Rosary Groups.
We hope to make this a regular event in the Children's Liturgy calendar, with the next Children of Mary Group planned for
the month of May. Submitted by Gabriella Gibney.
