National Rosary Rally 2019
WASHINGTON DC – October 13, 2019
The 54 day Novena for Our Nation concludes with Rosary Coast to Coast featuring hundreds of Rosary Rallies across the country on the October 13 Feast of Our Lady of Fatima miracle of the sun. Rosary Coast to Coast is anchored by the 4th annual National Rosary Rally at the US Capitol, headlined by speakers comprised of nationally known Catholic clergy and laypeople.
The 2019 National Rosary Rally will take place on Oct. 13th starting at 1:45 pm at St. Peter’s Church on Capitol Hill. There will not be a special Mass at the church so please make arrangements to attend Sunday Mass. Following the events at the church, there will be a Eucharistic Rosary procession to the rally site which takes place in Union Square to the west of the US Capitol in front of the Capitol reflecting pool. The first Rosary will be prayed during the procession to the rally site. Please see the schedule below for the event times. Rosaries will be prayed along with intentions which include: respect for life at all stages of development; the sanctity of marriage and families; upholding constitutionally protected religious freedom; and the return of our nation to God and Holiness.
Fr. Heilman clarifies: “Importantly, this is not intended to be a political event. Our hope is to influence the direction of our country through prayer”.
“I wholeheartedly endorse the Novena for Our Nation and the Rosary Rally… I urge as many as are able to participate in these great spiritual works for the sake of our entire nation.”
Cardinal Raymond Burke
“May there arise a new movement of people who couragiously will pray the Rosary in public places. May “Rosary Coast to Coast” bring to all citizens of the United States, to the peopel people with governmental responsibilities, to all faithfull Catholics, to priests and bishops a spiritual grace-filled rain of roses.”
Bishop Athanasius Schneider
“I am 100% supportive of the Rosary Coast to Coast movement! Our world is in major trouble and we need to turn to the prayer that Our Lady has most insistently asked us to pray in all of her recent approved apparitions: the holy rosary.”
Fr. Donald Calloway MIC, Author, Champions of the Rosary: The History and Heroes of a Spiritual Weapon
“This 54 day Novena and the Rosary Rally are all part of the effort we need to end preborn child killing and attacks on marriage and the family.”
Fr. Richard Heilman, President of the Holy League
