Since the 16th century, October 7 has been known as the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. In the 19th century, Pope Leo XIII dedicated the entire month of October to the Rosary. Click here to download a slideshow with a great explanation of why and how we pray this very familiar prayer.

In May of 2015, Pope Francis published a very important letter, called an encyclical, about taking care of creation. It was called “Laudato Si” in Latin, which means “Praise be to You” in English. It is a long letter, but these videos help to explain it for families with children.  
 
Here is a version for young children:

Pope Francis declared September 1 a World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. The period between September 1 and October 4 (the Feast of St. Francis) has been designated the Season of Creation. In this video, he calls all of us to pray and work to heal our common home, the Earth, during the month of September and beyond:
As a family, make a plan. What is ONE thing we can do to help care for the earth, the air, the water? Begin today.
