Each Tuesday evening on Zoom, a Rosary is held in Jameson's memory. All persons (of all faiths) are welcome and invited to join. Participants may choose to pray silently, or to lead some prayers, or be the unmuted respondent for some prayers.
This weekly event was established about a year before Jameson went to Our Lord, and he joined it regularly, leading prayers. Jameson was very Marian in his Faith, deeply loving The Holy Spirit and The Blessed Mother.
The weekly rosary was renamed in his memory after his passing, and we are hoping to grow the number of attendees from the dozen or so that would join (whenever able) to pray with Jameson, to an incredible number who will join (whenever able) to pray for him, and for other intentions.
If you wish to join the Rosary, you can receive the link weekly via text message. Simply send your name and request to Jameson's "foster Godmother", his aunt Celise Swanson, at (402) 750-5238.
May God bless you, and may the intercession of Our Lady, both for the soul of the lamented Jameson and for all your other prayerful intentions, find grace with Almighty God.
Jameson's Godmother, Laura Hand Donahue, composed music for a poem about the Annunciation that Jameson's father had written. From this beginning, a total of twenty songs will be created, each one consisting of ten verses representing the beads for each of the mysteries of the Rosary.
In addition to the performance of two of these songs at Jameson's funeral, the effort has now grown to become what is The Jameson Hand Memorial Musical Rosary Project, and we hope your own Catholic Parish might choose to become involved and that the project will spread. It is simple to participate! Seventeen Masses – one Mass celebrated on each of the specific Marian feast days that have been chosen for the musical works – should be celebrated every year, in (hoped-for) perpetuity, with the intention of the Mass being for "Laura Marie Hand Donahue and McManus Jameson Hand". And at some point during these Masses, the choir of the Parish performs the corresponding song from the Jameson Hand Musical Rosary Project collection.
Jameson's home parish, Ave Maria Catholic Parish in Parker, Colorado, is the first to take up this project, even while not all twenty of the songs have yet been composed! The performances of these works will be made available here for viewing. It is sincerely hoped that all those who remember Laura and Jameson might also arrange for their memorialization in this way at other parishes, and those performances can be made viewable here as well. Please reach out to Jameson's family to indicate your interest in obtaining the music for your parish so that this way of memorializing Laura and Jameson can spread throughout the Church.
