Sub Tuum Praesidium

We fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of God; Despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.

The Rosary Team: Bringing hope to seniors in their final years | CNA


The Rosary Team unites volunteers to bring the Rosary into nursing homes through a coordinated Catholic effort.

Through our national system and training, The Rosary Team builds prayer teams and tracks outreach bringing the gift of prayer to those formerly in our pews and those in need.

The Rosary Team started in 2019 at a memory care facility in Boulder County, Colorado and was formally founded as a non profit 501(c)(3) in 2021. Teresa, the founder, was working as a hospice nurse when she, along with her patients, family members, and their caregivers, noticed many entertainment options for residents but minimal spiritual support. This discussion inspired the creation of The Rosary Team.

Parishioners from several local churches volunteered to lead the rosary with the residents at the facility starting one day a week. Family members began requesting the team to come in more often, which led to 3 days per week, and the expansion into over 200 nursing facilities, wherever nursing homes exist, happened afterwards and rosary teams continue to rapidly grow. Volunteers pray in pairs forming a team at each elder care facility to spiritually minister to the residents.

O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
O Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Walsingham, Mother of God and our most gentle Queen and Mother, look down in mercy upon us, our parish, our country, our homes, and our families, and upon all who greatly hope and trust in thy prayers. By thee it was that Jesus, our Saviour and hope, was given to the world; and He has given thee to us that we may hope still more. Plead for us your children, whom thou didst receive and accept at the foot of the Cross, O sorrowful Mother. Intercede for our separated brethren, that with us in the one true fold they may be united to the Chief Shepherd, the Vicar of thy Son. Pray for us all, dear Mother, that by faith, fruitful in good works, we all may be made worthy to see and praise God, together with thee in our heavenly home. Amen.
