Tens of thousands of people are expected to pray the Rosary at hundreds of locations around Ireland this weekend.
Organisers of the Rosary on the Coast hope between 30,000 and 50,000 people will participate in gatherings on Sunday, October 7, at over 300 locations throughout the country, mostly on the coast but also in churches, houses, grottos and other locations.
Bishops Phonsie Cullinan of Waterford and Lismore and Kevin Doran of Elphin have issued videos online inviting Irish Catholics to join in the event, which is dedicated to several intentions including respect for life and an increase in Faith throughout Ireland.
The event follows November 2017’s Rosary on the Coast, which saw over 30,000 people joining in prayer at 295 locations around Ireland, with other prayer groups supporting the event from abroad; this year groups from 30 other countries are understood to be taking part remotely.
Rosary locations can be found and registered at www.coastalrosaryireland.ie
