The Living Rosary was started in Europe in 1862 when people wanted to share praying the Rosary but could not meet together.  By agreement, each person took a decade of the Rosary, forming a 15 people Living Rosary.  The Living Rosary is a prayer deeply cherished by Pope John Paul II.  It was used by him and his loved ones during the Nazi occupation of Poland, and very recently it was given his blessing.

Become a disciple of Jesus and enroll 15 people to recite a decade of the Rosary each day, which will take approximately 3 minutes in their own time and place.  Therefore, 15 people complete the full Rosary each day -- JOYFUL, SORROWFUL, and GLORIOUS.

Each person rotates forward so that in 15 days, each person has also recited all 15 decades.

5 - JOYFUL, 5 - SORROWFUL, 5 GLORIOUS

If you would like to enroll 15 people in this powerful prayer ministry, you will need:

  1. A leaflet with the Rosary Calendar distributed to each member.

  2. Fill in the names of 15 people in the Rosary Calendar.

  3. Select a "Team Captain" from the 15 members to coordinate the Living Rosary and Prayer Intentions.

The following article was printed in The Denver Catholic Register, Colorado's largest Catholic weekly publication, on August 12, 1987:

Rosary Devotion Promoted
Arthur Maes, a parishioner of Spirit of Christ Catholic Community in Arvada, has inaugurated a unique program to spread the devotion of the Rosary.   

He and his family visit a different parish each Sunday and with the help of volunteers, enroll people in the Living Rosary, whereby each person pledges to recite one decade of the Rosary every day.

"When people realize that it will take them just a very few minutes, they are willing to sign up," Maes said.

The parishioners are also given a leaflet and a prayer book to further explain the Rosary devotion to the Blessed Virgin.

The first Sunday of Maes' campaign, 198 people at Spirit of Christ Parish signed up to recite the Rosary.

The following week at St. Joan of Arc Parish, 222 more people followed suit and the next week, 240 St. Thomas More parishioners pledged their prayer support.

At Holy Rosary Parish, with only 250 registered parishioners, 75 of them enrolled in the Rosary campaign.

 "That's 30 percent - a very good showing." Maes noted.

Maes said he plans to take his Rosary project to all 300 parishes in Colorado during the Marian year.

"That could result in about 30,000 Rosaries being recited in Colorado each day." he said.

He also expresses hope that the devotion will expand nationwide - even worldwide.

"If we average 100 people per parish throughout the United States," Maes said, "that could mean potentially two million Rosaries being recited each day."

Maes said he intends to contact various national leaders in Church organizations to assist in the project.

"So far, everyone I've talked to is excited about the idea," he said. "I think it's going to catch on very fast and I think we'll all feel the blessings as a result of Mary being flooded with so much prayer."
