Holy Cross Family Ministries is promoting a three-month rosary campaign leading up to World Youth Day 2011 in Madrid, Spain.
The prayer initiative, called Firm in the Faith with Mary, aims to make World Youth Day, “ a truly spiritual event for all the young people,” Father John Phalen, president of the ministry, told CNA.
“We know that many young people have found their calling to a religious vocation at World Youth Day, so we're especially asking people to dedicate their rosaries to that,” he added.
The rosary campaign is being promoted by Family Rosary International, one of Holy Cross' several ministries. They are asking families and individuals to pray the rosary every Saturday from now until World Youth Day in August, for young people around the world to be awakened and deepened in their faith.
