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

In his homily, Fr. Andrew shared the inspiring story of St. Bartolo Longo, who overcame despair through the Rosary and devoted his life to spreading it. Through his witness, we see that hope is never wasted, and the chain of prayer connects us to eternal life.

Watch the video to experience the homily and the day of pilgrimage for yourself, and let it inspire your prayer and deepen your hope.

Join us as we look forward to next year’s pilgrimage on September 26, 2026, and continue praying the Rosary together.
