Catholics gather for the second annual Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. Thousands of pilgrims from across the country gathered at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington on Sept. 28 to honor Mary, the Mother of God, and her gift of the rosary.
"Our two goals for the Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage are that people are led closer to Jesus Christ -- and there is no one better at doing that and no one who desires that more than the Blessed Virgin Mary," Dominican Father John Paul Kern, executive director of the Dominican Friars Foundation and director of the Rosary Shrine of St. Jude in Washington, told OSV News."Secondly, that … we come to share in St. Dominic's zeal for the salvation of souls.
"We were just confirmed in March, so we haven't done any pilgrimages yet," she told OSV News."We wanted to get together with everyone and be a part of all of the beautiful things that are taking place here today. ... We wanted to expose our children to more people who are involved with the church." "The Annunciation is a gift to us of both Jesus and Mary and both of them together weave the prayers of the rosary," Father Sullivan said.
"That's the main reason we came," Mary Francis, 77, said,"but I always love to come to this basilica. … It's beautiful, it's just peaceful, it gives you a really good atmosphere to pray."
