The Rosary Project is inspired by Pope John Paul II's 2002 call for the faithful to "Confidently take up the Rosary again... in the context of their daily lives." The Pope said youth would take up the Rosary if given a pastoral approach "which is positive, impassioned and creative..." He implored, "Do not let this appeal of mine go unheard!" The first in a series of Holy Baby! DVDs - "Holy Baby! Seven Prayers in Seven Languages" - gives parents a positive, impassioned and creative tool that introduces infants and young children to seven foundational prayers of the Rosary in seven major languages of the world. The show is hosted by Baby Scholastica, a three dimensional animated cartoon character inspired by the scholarly Saint Scholastica, twin sister of Saint Benedict and champion of prayer, education and bold faith in God and Scripture.
"... an engaging, simple, vivid introduction to prayer for toddlers and young children. It's beautifully done with age-appropriate songs and music. This is a wonderful aid for families who want to begin their children on a walk with the Lord."
- Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., Archbishop of Denver
"Very well done, My 1-year old loved it! I'd never seen him sit and watch anything before."
- Tom Hoopes, Editor of the National Catholic Register

Review By: Kimberly From Alabama USA 1.0/5Watered-down, irreverent, and lacking, 01/07/2005
My husband and I bought the Holy Baby! DVD for our daughter. She loved it. But then again, a child her age will love anything you put in front of her with sights and sounds. We, on the other hand, hated it. It was a very big disappointment. Children learn to equate what they hear with what they see. To be fair, there are some occasional - VERY OCCASIONAL - images of devotional things (nun dolls, pietas, statues) but about 1/3 of them are quite ugly. Most especially is the bobble-head looking Jesus. Once again, what I was looking for was reverence, and found very, very little.

my sister and i both purchased these dvds for our families, and we're both sorry we did. we thought they'd be the catholic version of baby einstein dvds and videos. i do like baby einstein, which is what i thought this would be but in place of the secular images of toys and stuff, there'd be images of catholic things. there are, but only a few. the great majority of images shown on holy baby are toys: balls, stuffed animals, fish, ducks, flying wooden birds and plush flowers wearing sunglasses. there's even a snake (toy). oh yes, and my sister even showed me a clip (i gave up watching it myself) of a woodcarved hippy. strange. the kids see these pictures on the screen while prayers are recited. i don't know what the purpose of the images are, to be honest. they are very odd and certainly not uplifting. there is an occasional image of our lord and our lady, but they aren't beautiful. my husband and i are disappointed in our purchase. i'm going to stick with baby einstein and try to return this holy baby dvd for some $$$ back. i don't recommend this.
We've had this DVD since Christmas and our children absolutely love it! Our 3-year-old seems to be developing a love and reverence for prayer that we had difficulty instilling in his older sibblings. He crosses himself, which he learned from watching Holy Baby. We thought we'd have to push stuff like this on our kids. But no, our three and five year olds demand to see it. We only hope another Holy Baby show becomes available soon. -- jim

Since my daughter was 3 months, I showed this to her when I really needed to get things done. Now she's 15 months and she still lights up as if it were her first time watching this (and she watches the whole thing without wondering off to play). Some may complain about the images shown, however they may fail to realize that the toys are familiar objects for the children and the statues, maybe unappealing to an adult eye, are very appealing to a child's eye (remember, children don't judge based on beauty or lack there of). God has given children a keener sense of what is right and wrong, never underestimate that gift from God.
