Fr. Peyton was born January 9, 1909 in County Mayo, Ireland, and for 51 years he dedicated his life as a Holy Cross priest to Mary, the Mother of God. He is known as the “Rosary Priest” who tirelessly promoted the powerful prayer of the rosary. Across the globe, many of his rosary rallies attracted hundreds of thousands, including a gathering in Manila with over a million people in attendance.
At the time of his death he had preached to more people in person than any other Catholic. It was he who first proclaimed the phrases "The family that prays together stays together" and "A world at prayer is a world at peace".
