Rosary Rally on PENTECOST SUNDAY


Pentecost Sunday

May 31st  – National Rosary Rally 9am to 9pm

England, Wales, Scotland



Pope Francis is encouraging Catholics to pray the Rosary in their family homes during the month of May, especially when the Pandemic is making us aware of the value of our families and making it possible for us to pray together in lockdown at home. 

The Pope encourages simple Rosaries and joining online Rosary initiatives to pray to Our Lady for deliverance from Covid-19 and he has composed two prayers for this intention.  

We are invited to join an initiative that follows on the Pope’s request, the Pentecost Sunday National Rosary Rally, from 9.00am to 9.00pm across Scotland England and Wales.  

The following timetable gives the time slots allocated to particular dioceses and other juristictions. In this parish some are under the diocese, some the Ordinariate OLW, and other the Syro-Malabar Eparchy.
