We thank every child who has
presented their "Petition of Prayer" to Jesus
in the Most Blessed Sacrament. The top three winning entries
will be choosen with a great deal of prayer. We hope children
throughout the United States and world will join us and
visit Jesus on October 7th Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary,
as School Children's closing celebration for the "Year
of the Eucharist."
Here is a partial list of the dioceses who participated.
Dear Mr. Marthaler,
Thank you for your letter
of February 25th, 2005 regarding the “Petition of
Prayer Contest” sponsored by your organization for
Catholic school children. I am grateful that the Archdiocese
of Atlanta has an opportunity to participate.
I have forwarded the information
explaining the program to our Superintendant of Catholic
Schools who will pass it along to the school principals
May God continue to bless
the good work of your organization.
Sincerely in Christ,
Wilton D. Gregory,
Archbishop of Atlanta

| “Thank
you for this opportunity to focus on the Blessed Sacrament
and for children to write prayers. We went to the
Adoration Chapel which touched the children. One of
them said, "It is so quiet. You can actually
feel Jesus in there." We will pray for your work
through the decision process. What an opportunity
to pray a lot! - reading all those prayers from the
mouths of babes as you go through the selection process.”
God Bless!
“I think this is an awesome way to inspire the
youth of the Church!! May the Holy Spirit guide them
to the Truth!!
