VI. Offering of Solidarity Donation to Kids in the Middle East and Africa
You may use these words as introduction to the offering:
Friendship among children is their expression of solidarity. An open friendship that
welcomes even “strangers” – people they may not know from a distance – which grows in
solidarity through prayers.

The One Million Children Praying the Rosary Campaign advances its cause to a more
concrete expression of solidarity as a fruit of prayer through “One Peso Solidarity Project”
that makes ONE MILLION CHILDREN PRAYING THE ROSARY, ONE-MILLION-PESO SHARED
SOLIDARITY, which hopes to convert one million prayers to one million pesos as donation of
the one million Filipino children who will pray the rosary for the suffering children in the
Middle East and Africa. We now make our sign of solidarity to suffering children around the
world by offering a portion of our baon so that we may be able to somehow alleviate their
suffering. (The children’s donations may be collected before the prayer and a
representative of the children may offer symbolically the gift and the signature
form in behalf of the school)
VII. Prayer: Children’s Consecration to our Lady
VIII. Final Blessing and Hymn
