The need for a Church cleaning (and your part in it)
In the United States, Catholicism has suffered greatly and many of us know Catholics who have fallen away from the faith. Since 2019, over 2 million people have left the Church. Now, Church leaders are asking you, as Catholics, to join in praying 10,000 rosaries in the month of May for those who have fallen away from the Church. If you have a loved one who has left the faith, pray your rosary specifically for them during this month of Mary. Click here to let other Catholics around the world know you are joining them in praying the rosary.
St. Padre Pio called the rosary his “weapon.” St. Pio knew what it was like to battle Satan, even at times physically, and had experienced the power of the rosary. The loved ones we know who have left the faith have placed their souls in eternal danger because they have left Christ.

The saints were fervent advocates for the rosary and understood how powerful of an intercession the rosary could be for any intention. There is no greater intention to be prayed than that of seeking a soul to return to Christ. St. Francis de Sales said, “the greatest method of praying is to pray the Rosary.” If you are seeking a miracle for a child, a spouse, a parent, a sibling, or a loved one to return to the Church then join us in praying 10,000 rosaries. “Among all the devotions approved by the Church none has been favored by so many miracles as the devotion of the most Holy Rosary,” said Pope Pius IX.
The devil is behind every Catholic falling away from the faith and turning his or her back on the Lord. It is only Satan who seeks to destroy the Church. But the rosary has the power to combat the evil one. “The rosary is the scourge of the devil,” said Pope Adrian VI. The rosary can turn things around because it touches the heart of Christ, who loves his mother deeply.
However, it is not to be ignored that praying the rosary has significant impacts and brings forth abundant graces for our intentions, but it also provides incredible grace and holiness for the one praying the rosary. Bishop Hugh Boyle said, “those who say the Rosary frequently and fervently will gradually grow in grace and holiness and will enjoy the special protection of Our Lady and the abiding friendship of God.”
