What is the Mission Rosary?
The World Mission Rosary was created in 1951 by the Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen, who was the National Director of Missio (Pontifical Mission Societies) in the United States.
He saw the need to pray for the whole world, especially for those living in poverty. Each decade of the Rosary is colour-coded to represent a continent where the Church continues her mission:
- Africa is represented by the green decade for its forests and grasslands.
- The Americas are red to show the continent's fire of faith.
- Europe is white because it is the home of the Holy Father, who dresses in white.
- Oceania is shown in blue for the oceans surrounding the islands there.
- Asia is portrayed in yellow as a symbol of the sun rising in the east.

Praying the Mission Rosary
During lockdown in 2020, some of Missio's young supporters helped make some online Mission Rosary videos. We hope they help you pray along with these beautiful prayers.
