Being with a group of devoted families in Calgary on February 16th, 2025, was nothing short of an amazing experience. The warmth, faith, and commitment of these families created an atmosphere of deep spiritual communion, making it a truly enriching moment to witness and of which to be a part.
This gathering provided a beautiful opportunity to share about Venerable Patrick Peyton, the Rosary Priest, and the incredible mission of Holy Cross Family Ministries (HCFM). It was inspiring to see their keen interest in embracing and spreading the devotion to the Blessed Mother and the Holy Family. These families are dedicated to praying the Rosary regularly—both within their homes and collectively as a larger community at scheduled intervals. Their passion for family prayer mirrors Fr. Peyton’s timeless message: “The family that prays together stays together.”
Such a profound commitment to the Rosary and Marian devotion is undoubtedly a powerful force for spiritual renewal in Canada. In a world filled with distractions, these families are rekindling the flame of faith, building stronger spiritual foundations, and nurturing future generations in the love of Christ and His Blessed Mother. Their example will surely inspire many more to turn to prayer as a source of strength, unity, and hope.
This experience reaffirmed that faith is alive and growing in Canada. Through prayer, especially the Rosary, these families are playing a crucial role in revamping and deepening their relationship with the Lord—bringing His light into their homes and the wider community.
May this initiative continue to flourish, and may the Blessed Mother intercede for all families, guiding them ever closer to Christ!
