Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage

A National Pilgrimage Devoted to Christ and Our Lady

2024

A Pilgrimage of Prayer: Join Us for the 2025 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage

You are invited to the third annual Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage on Saturday, September 27, 2025, at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC. Organized by the Dominican Friars of the Province of St. Joseph, this one-day pilgrimage is an opportunity to draw closer to Christ through His Mother in the heart of the Church.

More than 3,000 pilgrims gathered last year to pray the Rosary, receive the sacraments, adore the Eucharist, and celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The day offered many graces—conversion, peace, healing, and a renewed love for Our Lady.

This pilgrimage is open to all: individuals, families, parishes, young and old. Whether you’ve come before or are discerning your first pilgrimage, we invite you to make the journey—to set aside a day for God, to join in prayer, and to encounter the Lord through Mary.

Come, and let the Rosary lead you to the heart of Christ.
