Enter more deeply into Lent by praying the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary with the Dominican Friars.

In this February Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage Novena reflection, Fr. John Paul Kern invites us to contemplate Christ’s Passion through the Most Holy Rosary — uniting ourselves to his Agony in the Garden, his Scourging, his Crowning with Thorns, his carrying of the Cross, and his saving Death on Calvary.

During this sacred season, the Church draws our attention to the mystery of salvation revealed in the Cross. By meditating on these mysteries with Our Lady, we are conformed more closely to Jesus Christ and strengthened by grace to carry our own crosses in hope of the Resurrection.

Join us in praying the Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage Novena and prepare your heart for the 2026 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage on September 26, 2026 in Washington, DC.

What does the Rosary do for charity? At the 2025 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, Fr. Austin Litke, O.P., reminded us that Christian charity is not simply a greater degree of love, but a different kind altogether. Through the Rosary, we are formed in a divine love that lifts the heart and gives life.

From the 2025 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, Dominican friars chant the Salve Regina, a centuries-old Marian antiphon sung each evening in the life of the Order of Preachers.

Through this prayer, Dominicans entrust the Church, the Order, and all intentions to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In this sacred chant, the friars lift their voices in praise and supplication, asking Mary, our gracious advocate, to lead all more surely to her Son.

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