The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception celebrates the singular grace given to the Blessed Virgin Mary: her preservation from original sin from the moment of her conception. Chosen to bear the Savior, Mary was uniquely prepared to bring Christ into the world, her life marked by both extraordinary privilege and profound humility.
As Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P., reflects, “In the midst of these exalted graces, she manages to disappear, always promoting our Lord Jesus Christ.” Even in her most glorious moments, Mary turns our gaze to Christ, teaching us to see God’s work in every grace and blessing.
Her “yes” at the Annunciation, her faith at Cana, and her steadfast presence at the Cross show us what it means to live entirely for God. Mary’s life is not about herself; it is a witness to the redemptive power of Christ, inviting us to do the same.
On this solemnity, we honor Mary not simply for what she received but for how she responded—with perfect humility and unwavering trust in God’s will. May her example inspire us to embrace God’s grace in our lives and lead others to Christ.
On September 28, 2024, thousands of pilgrims from across the country gathered at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., for the second annual Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage. For those unable to attend in person, we are grateful to share the full livestream recording of the day’s liturgy, preaching, and prayer.
From the moment the pilgrims processed into the Basilica to the celebration of Holy Mass, the day was filled with prayerful joy. United in devotion to Our Lady and the Rosary, the faithful joined the Dominican friars in Adoration, Confession, the Holy Rosary, and the Eucharist—the heart of the pilgrimage.
Whether you were among the thousands present in Washington or prayed with us from afar, we invite you to experience the day again through the full video below.
The Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage continues to grow each year as more pilgrims join in prayer and devotion to Our Lady. We invite you to mark your calendars for the third annual Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage on September 27, 2025.
Stay connected by enrolling in the Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage Novena, beginning January 25, 2025. Together, we will journey in prayer month by month, preparing our hearts for next year’s gathering.
The 2024 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage was a day marked by profound prayer, community, and devotion. Pilgrims gathered together, united by the Rosary and a shared mission to grow closer to God.
In his conference, Fr. James Sullivan, O.P., reminded us that the Pilgrimage was not merely an event, but the beginning of a lifelong journey toward God. “The Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage really is just beginning today. This is the start of it. Us being here together begins now, a new one for the rest of our life.”
The day was filled with beautiful moments, including prayer, adoration, confession, and Mass. Nearly 400 pilgrims were enrolled in the Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary, further strengthening our commitment to the Rosary.
For those who were unable to attend, or who wish to relive the day, you can watch the livestream video. We hope you can join us for the next Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, taking place on September 27, 2025, or to pray with us spiritually through the nine-month novena beginning on January 25, 2025.
Thank you to all who participated and supported this year’s pilgrimage. May the graces we received inspire us all to deepen our commitment to prayer and continue our journey of faith, living Godward in everything we do.
In a fast-paced world, it’s easy to miss the subtle ways God calls us closer. At the 2024 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, Fr. James Sullivan, O.P., invited us to explore the scenic routes to God through the Annunciation and other mysteries of the Rosary.
Fr. James challenges us to see the Annunciation as more than a biblical moment; it serves as a reminder that God often breaks into our lives unexpectedly. Like the Blessed Mother, we are called to be attentive to these divine invitations, transforming our ordinary moments into extraordinary encounters with grace.
We invite you to watch Fr. James’ full talk and reflect on how these insights can inspire your spiritual journey.
