With a steadfast devotion to The Blessed Mother’s Rosary, Harold was an early supporter of our Rosary Distribution program, ensuring Rosaries were provided for the 2011 World Youth Day participants.
As the ministry has grown over the years to 28 Ministry Centers in 18 countries, Harold’s leadership support made possible the development of our Ministry Center in Lourdes France. Recently, he made a transformational gift and bequest in support of We Prayed! The Campaign for Family Prayer. With Harold’s generosity and that of others, The Father Peyton Center will be transformed into a center for family spiritual renewal and pilgrimage with a Rosary Path, Lourdes Grotto, and Sacred resting place for Venerable Patrick Peyton.
Harold is an ardent supporter of Family Theater Productions, and his support of the inspiring documentary PRAY: The Story of Patrick Peyton has helped renew Father Peyton’s famous message “The Family That Prays Together Stays Together.” Aware of the need to cultivate faith in the next generation, Harold is supporter of a future feature FTP project, Chime Travelers, a children’s animation adventure series where twins are mythically transported back in time and learn from the wisdom of the saints.
Holy Cross Family Ministries is immensely grateful for Harold’s decades-long humble generosity and dedication to the mission of helping families flourish in the Catholic faith through our ministry programs, Ministry Centers, and faith-based media.
