Malta & Gozo

All school communities

Schools and groups may pray on the 7th October, Feast of our Lady of the Rosary and also choose to pray during the first week of October, according to their timetable and pastoral needs.

How can schools take part?

Schools may participate in a simple and flexible way:

  • Pray one decade of the Rosary during assembly or class time.
  • Organise a short prayer moment for peace.
  • Invite classes to pray the Rosary together.
  • Create a prayer corner dedicated to Mary and peace.
  • Encourage children to pray at home with their families.
  • Use child-friendly resources and visuals to help students understand the Rosary.

Whether children pray the whole Rosary or just one decade, every prayer is precious.

A prayer for peace

Through this initiative, children become little pilgrims of hope. They pray for their families, their schools, their country and the world. Together with Mary, Mother of Hope, they help send a wave of prayer around the world.

Resources

Schools and educators can find resources, ideas and child-friendly suggestions on the official campaign website: www.millionchildrenpraying.org

Call to Schools

We warmly encourage schools in Malta and Gozo to take part in this initiative and to help children discover the beauty of praying for unity and peace.

Let us join children around the world in prayer.
Let us pray the Rosary for unity and peace.
