The Rosary Tree

By: Tami Urcia May 16th, 2026

Tami Urcia describes the surprising way her children have made a weekly family Rosary a treasured prayer practice. After attending the Catholic Mom Contributors retreat in February of 2025, I was inspired to pray the Rosary more as a family. Due to hectic schedules that sometimes have our family looking more like a revolving door than a cohesive unit, I knew that attempting a daily Rosary would result more in increased frustration than increased holiness. But we could definitely shoot for once a week.
