Allison Gingras on Venerable Father Peyton and the Rosary

This week, hosts Mike Walsh and Kari Janisse welcome Allison Gingras of Holy Cross Family Ministries for a joyful conversation about Venerable Father Patrick Peyton, C.S.C., known around the world as “The Rosary Priest,” and his enduring message that “the family that prays together stays together.” Allison shares Father Peyton’s remarkable story, from his Irish roots and call to the priesthood to his healing through the intercession of the Blessed Mother and his bold use of radio, film and media to invite families into prayer. She also discusses the ongoing work of Holy Cross Family Ministries, its mission to support families in faith, and the importance of making the Rosary approachable, especially for those who may feel intimidated by family prayer. The conversation also turns personal, as Allison reflects on her own advocacy for the family Rosary and offers gentle encouragement for families to begin where they are. Whether that means a full Rosary, a single decade, grace before meals or simply one small movement toward God, she reminds listeners that prayer does not have to be perfect to be powerful.
