Today in my pursuit of finding resources to teach the rosary because the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary falls on Tuesday's class, I came across the following. It was listed as an activity in a saints resource book under a section titled Our Lady of the Rosary.
Share an Anecdote: Tell the students the story of Knute Rockne, who was one of the greatest college football coaches and a convert to Catholicism. Rockne, who made the forward pass popular, was well known for giving Notre Dame University football teams the ideals of sportsmanship and fortitude. He was killed in a plane crash in Kansas on March 31, 1931. When the rescuers found his body, he had a Rosary still clutched in his hand.
Wow, not what I was expecting to find as an activity to teach the rosary, but definitely an incident that brightened my day! Even catechetical resources share the enthusiasm for Notre Dame football! GO IRISH!

wow. that's awesome!
the story is officially filed in my brian.
thanks for sharing! :)
thats a great story. i did not know that one of the greatest, if not the great coach in college football history, was clutching a rosary. wow.
on a side note, i dislike it when notre dame is referred to as notre dame university. i think its because the only other place its called that is on juicycampus.com which, for those who don't know, is a site where people can anonymously gossip about each other.
