The Rosary Team is a non profit 501(c)(3) started in 2019 at a memory care facility in Boulder County, Colorado. Teresa, the founder, was working as a hospice nurse when she, along with her patients, family members, and their caregivers, noticed many entertainment options for residents but minimal spiritual support. This discussion inspired the creation of The Rosary Team.

Parishioners from several local churches volunteered to lead the rosary with the residents at the facility starting one day a week. Family members began requesting the team to come in more often, which led to 3 days per week, and the expansion into many other nursing facilities happened afterward in Colorado and throughout the United States. Volunteers pray in pairs forming a team at each elder care facility to spiritually minister to the residents.

Sometimes these seniors feel like a burden when they can no longer do the things they did. They need help with their physical needs and they have so much loss. They lose their homes, their physical abilities, and many of their friends and family have passed away.  But they do not need to lose their relationship with God and we can walk with them on this path.  

These seniors are never a burden!  They can pray for peace in our world, for healing of wounds, for those that are sick or dying and many other intentions. After the rosary, the group is very peaceful, there is a remarkable difference. This is one of the gifts among many that our Blessed Mother gives to us when we pray the rosary.
