Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Meg Herriot shares how learning about the life and message of Venerable Patrick Peyton has affected her whole family. Father Peyton was relatively unknown to my family up until this year. For all three generations, including my parents, who lived during his lifetime, this was a new introduction. We are blessed to have been exposed to his story, through the movie PRAY, going to a Rosary Rally at Notre Dame, and also by visiting his final resting place.

Family Rosary | PRAY | Venerable Patrick Peyton | how to pray the rosary
Megan Harrington describes her family's devotion to the Rosary, which she appreciated in a new way after working on the documentary of Father Patrick Peyton's life: PRAY. Growing up, my parents made us — it was not a choice or an option — be in the kitchen at 7 am before school to pray the Rosary. They believed in its promises and the power of prayer. Gathering a herd of 11 children is not an easy task, especially in the morning. I’d like to tell you that their example launched me into the daily practice from the time I was a small girl until today, but unfortunately, it didn’t. The seed was planted, however, and I would be reminded of its effectiveness many times throughout my life. I am forever grateful to my parents, who were the first witnesses of the faith.
