Join Us for the 2026 Novena & Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage

Dominican Friars

We invite you to mark your calendar for the Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage 2026, taking place in on September 26, 2026, at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C.

Each year, thousands of pilgrims from across the country gather to pray the Rosary together, celebrate the Eucharist, and entrust their intentions to Our Lady—asking to be led more deeply to Christ through her intercession.

A Pilgrimage That Begins in Prayer

The Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage begins long before pilgrims arrive in Washington.

Preparation for the 2026 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage starts with a nine-month novena, beginning on January 31 and prayed on the last Saturday of each month, continuing until the pilgrimage itself. Through this sustained rhythm of prayer, families, parishes, and communities are united in asking Our Lady to draw hearts more deeply to Christ.

You may request a novena prayer card to be mailed to you at no cost, or download the prayer card to pray along digitally.

Are you a ministry leader and pastor? You can request novena cards in bulk to share with you communities here.

There are many ways to take part:

  • Attend as an individual pilgrim or with a group
