Family Theater Productions is preparing for the theatrical release this fall of PRAY: The Story of Patrick Peyton, which recounts the inspiring story of an Irish-born priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross who dedicated his life to promoting devotion to the Blessed Mother through the rosary. 

Fr. Peyton was naturally shy, but rose above his shyness to accomplish the mission he believed God gave him. When he launched his first nationwide radio show on Mother’s Day, 1945, for example, he wanted a major Hollywood star to introduce the program as a means of drawing the maximum number of viewers. He “cold-called” Bing Crosby with his request, and Crosby agreed to do it.

Let us continue to pray the rosary, especially during the month of May. - Fr. Matt, OFM Cap.
