Founder of Family Rosary
In 1942, Father Patrick J. Peyton, CSC, (now titled ”Servant of God”) founded the Family Rosary in Albany, New York. He is known today as the “Rosary Priest”, and the “American Apostle of the Rosary.” His mission, which continues today through the ministry of Holy Cross Family Ministries, is to support the spiritual well being of the family through prayer, especially through the prayer of the Rosary. Today his vision of millions of families praying the Rosary is carried out through Family Rosary apostolates in seventeen countries throughout the world.
