As we approach the Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, we are filled with a deep sense of anticipation and devotion for Our Lady.. For those who cannot join us in person this year, there are still meaningful ways to participate and experience the graces from the Pilgrimage.

Human beings, as pilgrims on a journey from earth to heaven, find profound spiritual benefit in the practice of pilgrimage, which serves as a reminder of our eternal destination. This tradition is exemplified by Christ Himself, who journeyed through various lands and ultimately to Calvary and ascended to heaven.

The Rosary, a prayer that reflects Christ’s own pilgrimage and encompasses aspects of human life, serves as the ideal spiritual companion for our pilgrim state. The Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, beginning with a nine-month novena and culminating in a national event on September 28th at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, integrates this spiritual practice with a communal pilgrimage, inviting participants to unite their journey with the devotional power of the Rosary.

Each aspect of this pilgrimage is a chance to grow in holiness and strengthen our relationship with God.
