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.

Calling All Rosary Makers: 75,000 Sets of Prayer Beads Needed for Fulton Sheen Beatification| National Catholic Register
June 28, 2026

Before the beatification Mass for Fulton Sheen begins on Sept. 24, everyone attending the morning program at The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis will receive a free “World Missions Rosary” — designed by Bishop Sheen himself. Thousands of faithful will then pray a Rosary with this rosary.

That prayerful moment will harken back to 1951, when Sheen introduced this distinctive, multicolored, eye-catching rosary to remind the faithful to pray to Our Lady, Queen of Apostles, for the success of the Church’s missionary efforts around the world.

“Seventy-five years ago this year, Fulton J. Sheen, in his second year as the national director of The Pontifical Mission Societies, started to ask, ‘How can I get people praying for the missions?’ He knew Americans’ great love for Our Lady, Queen of the Apostles, and their great love for the Holy Rosary,” today’s national director, Msgr. Roger Landry, told the Register.

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.
