Family Rosary Crusade - Key Components of The Crusade

Key Components of The Crusade

• Primary objective of the Family Rosary Crusade is to have every family make a habit of reciting the Rosary together, regardless of class or creed and even religion;

• The crusade was a continuing effort of Father Peyton to promote the Blessed Virgin Mary as Mother to all, a compassionate and loving Mother, his tribute to her for interceding on his behalf after facing a near fatal illness;

• A continuing process of evangelization, a continuing effort to preach the sacrifices of Jesus Christ who ensured the prophesized salvation of all mankind;

• Utilization of mass forms of communications such as radio, television, outdoor advertising and films through the voluntary effort of artists and workers in these industries. Father Peyton viewed mass media as the more effective means of promoting family prayers, and the Gospel beyond the pulpits of a parish, thanks largely to its wide reach.;

• Introduction to every diocese a massive coordinated efforts to set up a Rosary rally attended by people from within and beyond the diocese. In gathering parishioners and even non-Christian believers to accept Father Peyton's view of the Rosary as a universal tool to bring people together – the voices of many simultaneously praying to God would be heard loudly and more clearly.
