His desire for our happiness is rooted in the promise of Heaven, and He gives us Mary as a loving Mother to guide us there. Through her intercession and example, we learn to say “yes” to God in every moment. Join us in praying this Family Rosary Novena through the intercession of Venerable Patrick Peyton, lifting your family’s needs to God and believing in His unfailing love.

In the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary, we encounter our Blessed Mother, Mary, whose heart was completely united with God from the very beginning. Her unwavering trust allowed her to say “yes” to God’s plan without fear, opening the door for the miracle of the Incarnation. Today, we are invited to place that same confidence in God’s unfailing love and power. Join us for day two in praying a novena through the intercession of Venerable Patrick Peyton, asking for a miracle for your family and trusting that God delights in answering the prayers of His children. This is where miracles begin! Read on for today's reflection and Rosary prayers.

Since 2009, Holy Cross Family Ministries has honored the Anniversary of Venerable Patrick Peyton's Birth with a Family Rosary Novena. As we continue this cherished tradition, we invite you to join us from January 9 - 17, 2026, as we pray for Father Peyton and Our Blessed Mother’s intercession for our families' hopes and concerns. There is always someone in need of prayer. Seeking heavenly guidance and assistance through intercessory prayer, especially when you feel most helpless, is a tremendous gift that our Catholic faith offers. Intercessory prayer fortifies our prayers when we pray with those whom the Church declares to be in heaven—Venerables, Blesseds, and Saints. This is where miracles begin!

Did you know that January is "Holy Cross Heritage Month" here in the United States? The inaugural Holy Cross Heritage Month was launched last year by the Congregation of Holy Cross’ U.S. Province of Priests and Brothers to celebrate the incredible family of Holy Cross, a family of which Holy Cross Family Ministries is a proud member and an important part. From local parishes to missions and schools around the globe, the Congregation of Holy Cross has built an incredible legacy of faith, hope, and service over its nearly two-hundred-year history. But beyond the beautiful schools and universities (with some pretty outstanding football programs — Go Irish!), the vibrant parishes, and the diverse ministries serving the needy around the world, you might be wondering: what exactly is the Congregation of Holy Cross, and what is the story behind the heritage we’re celebrating?

Catholic Family Fun | Catholic Schools Week | Try Prayer! It Works! | family prayer
Family Rosary announces theme for 2025-26: Try Prayer! Contest for students in Catholic schools. Find out how to share contest info with your local Catholic school! Inspired by the founder of Family Rosary, Venerable Patrick Peyton, the Try Prayer! It Works! Contest focuses on Father Peyton’s message: “The Family that Prays Together Stays Together.” In an effort to find enriching, reflective, and interactive ways to strengthen family prayer in our homes, we’ve created a family-faith experience. Our mission at Family Rosary is to help families pray, especially the Rosary. We strive to bring the Catholic Church’s teachings to life around the dinner table, during family time, or even on your daily commute, with discussion prompts, reflection questions, prayer ideas, and creative activities. Help children of all ages tell the story of family prayer in writing, artwork, or video production.
