REAL MEN pray the rosary™

'Praying to the Rosary is for old ladies and for funerals. Besides, I'm a man - a Christian Man!'

Welcome to Real Men Pray The Rosary™, a non-profit apostolate that we created not only to promote the blessings of praying the Rosary, but to also foster a community dedicated to ALL REAL MEN AND WOMEN (and their families!) who embrace their Christian devotion, especially Catholic Christians, and walk humbly with God.

The Holy Spirit called upon us to start this apostolate, to create a place where people could study the mysteries / history of the Rosary, read and share experiences of how the Rosary can impact people’s lives in a modern world, and serve as a unifying experience for communities and families alike.

This website will hopefully help us to dispel the notion that praying the Rosary is for ‘old ladies and funerals!’ and only for Catholics.

All Christians can benefit from the recitation of the Rosary.
