More than 3,000 Catholics came together at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC, for the second annual Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage.
They joined Dominican friars in the basilica on 28 September “to celebrate the Virgin Mary and her gift of the holy rosary”, reports the Catholic News Agency (CNA).
College students, families with young children, alongside older Catholics filled the basilica to pray the rosary in the upper church. The event also included a Mass, adoration and confession, lectures about the rosary and Mary, as well as an outdoor concert by the Hillbilly Thomists, a folk band made up of Dominican friars.
