Thousands are set to head to Washington this weekend for the first-ever Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage.
Faithful from all over the nation will join the Dominican Friars this Saturday at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception as part of an initiative to revive the tradition of praying the rosary.
The journey began back in January when the friars began a nine-month novena in honor of the time Mary carried Jesus in her womb.
That novena will culminate this Saturday when the faithful pray for our country and grow closer to Christ through his mother.
Father Paul Kern, a spokesperson for the pilgrimage, said the initiative was a response to Mary’s repeated call to pray the rosary.
If you can’t make the pilgrimage in person, you can also livestream the event. Just go to rosarypilgrimage.org.
Information on how to either attend in person or watch it online, will be right there on the homepage.
