| 0:00.0 | This is Holy Family School of Faith. |
| 0:05.8 | Welcome to our Rosary meditation and happy Father's Day. |
| 0:10.5 | Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Let's call to mind in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. |
| 0:13.3 | Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for. |
