For more than two decades, the Pontifical Foundation ACN has held this initiative. However, for the first time ever, the “One Million Children Praying the Rosary” will last an entire week from October 1-7, offering communities, families, and schools the chance to choose the day that best fits them. All the while, each community will be united in their prayers for peace and unity.
The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, October 7, marks the culmination of the week.
