We are pleased to announce that Fr. Andrew Hofer, O.P. will preach the homily at this year’s Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, taking place on Saturday, September 27, 2025, at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C.

Fr. Andrew is a longtime professor and preacher who currently serves as Editor-in-Chief of The Thomist and Ordinary Professor at the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception. He is also Master of Students for the deacons of the Dominican Province of St. Joseph, guiding men in their final stage of preparation for priesthood.

Over the years, he has served in parish ministry in Rhode Island and taught in Nairobi, Kenya as a missionary. He earned his doctorate at the University of Notre Dame and has written extensively on theology and spiritual life, including The Power of Patristic Preaching, Rosary for a Eucharistic Revival, and Our Father: Our Prayer of Hope.

Fr. Andrew has a deep love for the Rosary, and we’re grateful that he’ll be sharing that love in his preaching at this year’s pilgrimage Mass.

We hope you’ll join us on September 27, 2025, for a full day of prayer, preaching, Eucharistic adoration, and the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass—all in the company of Our Lady and St. Dominic.
