WASHINGTON DC – Sunday, October 5, 2025
The 2025 National Rosary Rally will take place on Sunday, October 5, starting with the National Eucharistic Procession from St. Peter’s Catholic Church on The Supreme Court.
Our focus is going to be on prayer and short reflections instead of longer talks. The Patriotic Rosary will be prayed simultaneously with Rosaries across the nation as Rosary Coast to Coast at 4:00 pm.
Nationally renowned speakers including a Bishop, Priests, a consecrated religious Sister and laypeople will address these intentions. Fr. Richard 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, Consecration to St. Joseph and Champions of the Rosary
“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
