We are good only because he has first loved us. During the second conference of the 2025 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, Fr. Austin Litke, O.P. shares with us that God’s love does not wait for us to be good. God looks at the very worst of us and still chooses to love. That love is the beginning of every good thing, the love that called us into being and will not let us go.

God's Godly Love | Fr. Austin Litke O.P.

Dominican Friars November 8, 2025 10:00 am

At the 2025 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, Fr. Andrew Hofer, O.P. reminded us to never give up. Not on ourselves, our loved ones, or even our enemies. Our hope is not in our strength but in the work of God within us, made present in the sacrifice of the Mass. May we continue to hope in Our Lord through the intercession of Our Lady and the Rosary.

Never Give Up | Fr. Andrew Hofer O.P.

Dominican Friars November 4, 2025 10:01 am

On October 19th, Blessed Bartolo Longo, the lay Dominican who dedicated his life to spreading the Rosary at Pompei, was canonized—a true witness to the power of conversion and devotion.

In this clip from the 2025 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, Fr. Andrew Hofer, O.P., reflects on Bartolo’s journey: a man once lost in darkness, even practicing Satanism, who experienced a dramatic conversion and devoted his life to Our Lady of the Rosary. Fr. Hofer emphasizes that Bartolo’s life is a reminder that the Rosary is a “chain of hope,” lifting hearts to Heaven and inspiring all who pray it.

The next Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage is on September 26, 2026.

The Rosary is Our Chain of Hope | 2025 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage

Dominican Friars November 3, 2025 12:00 am

To wait for the Lord is not to stand still, it is to look for him with love. At the 2025 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, Fr. Litke reflected on what it means to wait for the Lord. Like the father who looks for his son from afar, the Christian heart learns to wait with love, longing for the moment it will be received by him.

2025 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage | Second Conference with Fr. Austin Litke, O.P.

Dominican Friars November 6, 2025 9:00 am

At the 2025 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, Fr. Andrew Hofer, O.P., shared a powerful homily on the Rosary as our chain of hope—a prayer that lifts us, strengthens us, and unites us to God and one another.

Fr. Hofer reminded pilgrims that hope is more than wishing for good; it is a theological virtue infused by God, keeping us rooted in Him even in the midst of life’s struggles. He shared the inspiring story of Blessed Bartolo Longo, who overcame despair through the Rosary and devoted his life to spreading it.

“Pick up a rosary, and you lay hold of eternal life. Pray for yourselves, for your loved ones, and for your enemies. Never give up—never give up on God,” Fr. Hofer said.

Experience this homily and the day of pilgrimage for yourself, and let it inspire your prayer and strengthen your hope.

The next Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage is on September 26, 2026.
