The Standing Committee of the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference has recently released a message to the faithful, encouraging them to unite in daily prayer of the Rosary after their gathering in the Columba Centre of St Patrick’s Pontifical College, Maynooth. The prayer will being broadcasted every evening from St Peter’s Square at 8pm (Ireland time), where clergy and lay people will come together in prayer, asking for the health of Pope Francis.
Speaking to The Irish Catholic Angela McMorrow, a key member of the organising team for the All Ireland Rosary Rally, said that “We will pray for Pope Francis in a special way during the Rosary and include him in the intentions of the Mass.”
The All Ireland Rosary Rally will hold its launch event on March 1 in Knock, Co. Mayo, the Catholic heart of Ireland. The gathering will begin with the praying of the Rosary, followed by a series of talks highlighting the significance of the Rosary in Irish spiritual life and the legacy of Frank Duff, founder of the Legion of Mary.
