Pupils Pray the Rosary for Peace

Pupils at St Edmund’s Catholic Primary School in Bury St Edmunds and St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School in Sudbury joined children around the world in praying the Rosary for unity and peace on 7 October.

The schools responded to Pope Leo’s call to take part in Aid to the Church in Need’s (ACN) ‘One Million Children Praying the Rosary’ initiative.

In preparation, the schools’ Religious Education (RE) Ambassadors received training in how to pray the Rosary. They then visited each class to share what they had learnt, teaching fellow pupils the prayers and helping them reflect on the mysteries.

Each child had a set of Rosary beads to follow as the RE Ambassadors led them in prayer. The sound of children reciting the Our Father and Hail Mary echoed throughout the schools as pupils joined together to pray for unity and peace.
