A Rosary is prayed aloud at the beginning of each hour during the Eucharistic Rosary Congress using the prayers in the Rosary Binder or Rosary Booklets. Providing the Rosary prayers and intentions for each of the four sets of mysteries will ensure your Adoration hours run smoothly and systematically, providing about 30 minutes of vocal prayer for all to unite and about 30 minutes of personal, silent prayer. Meditations for each mystery were written by Fr. Stephen Dankoski, the Spiritual Director of the Eucharistic Rosary Congresses, and invite participants to enter more deeply into the mysteries of Our Lord and His Mother Mary. By providing consistency, clarity, and spiritual depth, the binder and booklets are an invaluable tool for both coordinators and participants, helping each Eucharistic Rosary Congress remain prayerful, organized, and fruitful.

The Rosary Binder and the Rosary Booklets contain the same prayers but are in different formats:

• The Rosary Binder has all four mysteries of the Rosaries included. The Binder is kept at the church/chapel and the leaders of the Rosary use the same Binder throughout the Congress. The Binder can be prepared with dividers and an index, making it easy to locate the set of mysteries appointed for each hour.  It’s advantageous to provide at least two or three Rosary Binders in case the Binder gets misplaced and the adorers responding to the prayers can have a copy as well.

• The Rosary Booklets have only one mystery of the Rosary included. The Booklets are provided for each leader of the Rosary according to the mystery they are to lead. The Booklets, with each leader’s name and the hour written on the front cover, can be displayed on a table near the entrance to the church/chapel. The Adoration Coordinator ensures the Rosary Booklets are placed on the table each day for the leaders of the Rosary in the upcoming 24 hours.
