Going Godward: Listen to Fr. James Preach

Dominican Friars | October 17, 2024

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.
