He devoted his priestly life to promoting family prayer, especially the Rosary. Father Peyton, who came to be known as "The Rosary Priest," founded [Family Rosary](https://www.familyrosary.org/) and [Family Theater Productions](https://www.familytheater.org/). Both of these organizations, along with Catholic Mom, are part of Holy Cross Family Ministries. You can learn more about Father Peyton's life and spiritual legacy at [FatherPeyton.org](https://www.fatherpeyton.org/). Join us in honoring the January 9 anniversary of Father Peyton's birth by praying this novena through his intercession. We will pray for Father Peyton's beatification, his next step in the sainthood process. We will also pray for your family's needs and intentions. > [Click to tweet: > Novena: pray with us for the renewal of family life in the Church and in the world. #catholicmom](https://ctt.ac/66k9e) Here on Catholic Mom, we'll share the novena prayers daily at 6 AM Eastern beginning January 1.
