Mientras hablaba con un paciente y su esposo un d\u00eda, se propuso la idea de organizar un momento para rezar el rosario. Rodr\u00edguez decidi\u00f3 inmediatamente hacerlo realidad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEse d\u00eda habl\u00e9 con la directora de actividades... y estaba encantada. [Estaba] tan emocionada de que incluso consider\u00e1ramos venir a rezar con los residentes\u201d, dijo Rodr\u00edguez a CNA en una entrevista.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>En ese momento, Rodr\u00edguez dirig\u00eda un estudio b\u00edblico en su parroquia, Sagrado Coraz\u00f3n de Mar\u00eda en Boulder, Colorado. Pregunt\u00f3 a las mujeres de su estudio b\u00edblico si alguna estar\u00eda dispuesta a ser voluntaria para rezar el rosario con los pacientes en un centro de cuidado de la memoria. Dos de ellas se ofrecieron como voluntarias para ir con ella.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>El evento fue un \u00e9xito r\u00e1pidamente. Lo que comenz\u00f3 como un evento una vez a la semana se convirti\u00f3 r\u00e1pidamente en dos veces por semana, y luego tres. Rodr\u00edguez coloc\u00f3 anuncios en los boletines de las parroquias circundantes y pudo reunir a m\u00e1s voluntarios. Esto marc\u00f3 el comienzo de lo que ahora se conoce como el <a href=\"https:\/\/therosaryteam.org\/\" target=\"null\" class=\"null\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Rosary Team<\/a>, que comenz\u00f3 en 2019 y hoy est\u00e1 formado por m\u00e1s de 500 voluntarios en 18 estados.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"mx-auto\" style=\"width:100%\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/admin.catholicnewsagency.com\/storage\/image\/rosaryteam4.jpeg?quality=80&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"img-fluid\" style=\"null\" alt=\"Voluntarios del Rosary Team rezan con los residentes en un centro de cuidado de la memoria.
