The Living Rosary Association


The Living Rosary is not a new devotion, but a continuation of the Rosary preached by St. Dominic and announced by Our Lady for centuries. The Living Rosary Association was founded by Pauline Marie Jaricot, who is also the foundress of the Society of the Propagation of the Faith. The indulgences granted to this simple devotion include all those of the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary and more!

In these days of evil, confusion, division, and modernism, what a mighty force for good the Living Rosary will be in every family, diocese and country! We battle today not the evil of man but the principalities and powers of all hell. A gift of the Queen of Heaven, the Holy Rosary prayed faithfully, strengthened by the unity of association, will render all the attacks of Satan impotent. Let us unite with one purpose, spirit and prayer. The intentions of the Universal Living Rosary Association are:

The Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the honor of St. Philomena our patroness and protectress.

This is a "perpetual" rosary. That is, you accept to pray your daily mystery faithfully for the remainder of your life. These obligations do not bind under pain of sin, but your effort and desire to remain faithful are necessary. Your decade may be offered at any time of the day or night. A regular quarterly newsletter, "Dedicated Decades," is posted to every member.

The Living Rosary Association began its revival on December 8, 1986, with 30 local members. Blessed 1000-fold by Our Lady and under the powerful patronage of St. Philomena, the membership is now at 1,000,000 and has been planted in every Continent of the world. Over 3/4 of the membership lies in foreign and Third World countries. Each member is asked to voluntarily give a small monthly donation. We have no other financial support than yours. The funds received are then placed right back into the work to spread the devotion, mail sacramentals to the missions and maintain the Center. If you cannot donate financially, then we ask you to pray fervently that our material needs are met.

If you are interested in becoming a member of the Living Rosary, please send us your name and full address to the Universal Living Rosary Association enrollment center nearest you. We will build a list of 15 names. When the Rosary is complete, the decade you have been assigned and the day to begin will be mailed to you.
