About Us

It all starts with seven words that resonate in the hearts of all families ... The Family That Prays Together Stays Together ... the slogan of Father Patrick Peyton, CSC, so many years ago.

Family Rosary seeks to support the spiritual well-being of the family through prayer, especially the Rosary. You can join us online or at our events:  retreats, conferences, seminars, parish missions and days of reflection as we seek to bring your family together.  We serve families that pray together daily, those that have never prayed together and those that have no idea where to begin.  Let us be a source of information, inspiration and support as you strive to strengthen your family's spirituality. 

Let us join you in prayer.  As you move through our website, know that we are praying for you and your family.  Prayer is an important part of our everyday life in our headquarters in North Easton, Massachusetts, USA, and in 16 other countries.  We receive prayer intentions via email, web postings, snail mail and also by phone.  We ensure that the many intentions that are received are read and placed in a basket before the altar in the Chapel of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary. These intentions include prayers of thanksgiving, prayers for a sick relative or friend, someone who needs spiritual or physical healing or many other situations in life that people are living and are in need of God’s help, mercy and grace. Join us in prayer.  Send us your petitions and pray for others who have posted their petitions on this site. 

Years ago, our founder, Servant of God Father Patrick Peyton, CSC, wanted to ensure every member of every family had a Rosary in their hands when they prayed.  We continue that important mission today through our Rosaries for the World program.  Every year more than a million Rosaries are sent to schools, parishes, prayer groups, youth ministry groups, prisons, and the military to name just a few - free of charge. We continue to fulfill the request for rosaries each and everyday.

Family Rosary Around the World

Wherever we are, we are there to serve you.  We participate in prayer events and enjoy and respect the local traditions and customs in each country. Contact any country and learn about the events and activities that may be local to you and your family.  You can participate in prayer events, Rosary prayer events, educational programs on how to pray the Rosary, retreats, missions, weekly radio programs, televisions programs, contests and various other activities that assist families to pray.

Family Rosary has two mission offices in the United States:

In County Mayo, Ireland the Father Patrick Peyton Memorial Centre is located in the hometown of Father Peyton. Here young and old alike come together for prayer and reflection. Prepared programs are well received by pilgrims traveling on their own or with tour groups.

Wherever we are and wherever you and your family are, we are here to support you.  All our staff and volunteers share a common goal and vision: to inspire families to pray together and to understand and embrace the value of this time spent together. As a result, families are praying the Rosary every day.  After all, as Father Peyton so aptly said so many years ago, the family that prays together stays together.
