Have a Rosary Relay at Your House

• Click on the rosary (above) to get to an 8 1/2 by 11 inch printable copy.
• Decorate it and post it in a place that everyone passes in your home.
• When you go by, stop for a minute or two and say the prayer for the next bead or two, then mark the beads you’ve prayed. Explain it to everyone in the house, so they can all take part.
• If you post it on another surface, one way to mark a completed bead would be
  to color a mark or symbol — maybe a small cross — next to it.
• If yours is a “crafty” family, you’ll probably come up with better ways to decorate and mark your rosary page.
• As with any relay, it takes teamwork — the whole family — to “win the race.”
• When you’ve finished one full rosary, you can start around again on the same decorated paper.
• Or you can print another one and start from scratch.
• Check the links above for instructions for praying the rosary.
• You can also find instructions and the prayers at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ website
