On this special episode of The Family Rosary Across America, Fr. Rocky and Maggie brought the joy of prayer to Ss. Peter and Paul in Naperville, Illinois, for a beautiful birthday celebration in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The church was filled with parishioners for Mass, radiant music lifted hearts, and sunlight streamed through the stained-glass windows. Afterward, the community gathered for the Rosary, heartfelt prayer intentions, and even birthday cake and ice cream for Our Lady. You can listen to the entire episode here. 

Among those who shared intentions was longtime parishioner Diane, who has been part of the parish for 45 years. She prayed for lawmakers to defend the sanctity of life from conception to natural death, as well as for the health of newborn Baby Cal. Young Jonathan, dressed in his Sunday best, offered prayers for families, friends, and especially for mothers and fathers to be pleasing to Jesus in the Eucharist. His brother Ethan prayed for Pope Leo XIV, bishops, and priests – that they would remain healthy, happy, and blessed with abundant graces as they serve Christ and bring the sacraments to the faithful.

This special “birthday party for Mary” was a vivid reminder of how the Rosary unites families and parishes in faith and joy across America.
