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.
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.
The second annual Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage took place on September 28, 2024, at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. Over 3,000 pilgrims gathered to deepen their devotion to the Rosary and listen to inspiring talks by the Principal Preacher, Fr. James Sullivan, O.P.
In his first conference, Fr. James spoke about the enduring truth of the Good News of Jesus Christ: that our lives are meant to move toward God and nothing can separate us from His love. Drawing on imagery from the Annunciation, he highlighted how Our Lady exemplifies the fulfillment of God’s promises, offering hope and joy despite the fall of Adam and Eve.
Whether you joined us in person or couldn’t make it, you can now listen to Fr. James’ talk and reflect on his message of grace and God’s unwavering goodness.
The Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage is a unique opportunity to grow in faith and prayer through the intercession of Our Lady of the Rosary. Stay connected for updates on next year’s pilgrimage, and discover more resources on how the Rosary can enrich your spiritual life.
