Colorado couple releases children's DVD teaching rosary prayers

Published: 2003-11-19

DENVER (CNS) -- Catholic parents beware: There's a new tool available to teach infants and young children how to pray, but you may find yourself singing the catchy "Holy Baby!" theme song -- nonstop. Created by a Boulder couple with four boys ages 1 to 9, the "Holy Baby! Seven Prayers in Seven Languages" DVD teaches the seven prayers of the rosary in English, Spanish, French, Latin, Vietnamese, German or Portuguese. Co-creators and directors Dede and Wayne Laugesen said the DVD is a response to Pope John Paul II's call in 2002 for Catholics to instill the rosary and other prayers in children -- thus the company's name: The Rosary Project. The "Holy Baby!" DVD, which costs $19.95 plus $4.95 for shipping and handling, can be ordered on the Internet at: www.TheRosaryProject.com, or by calling: (800) 511-1514.
