Apostolic Blessing Granted to the Eucharistic Rosary Congresses!
In this Holy Year 2025, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV has granted an Apostolic Blessing to President Kristin Bird and to all who participate in and support the Eucharistic Rosary Congresses. We are grateful for this recognition and mindful of the responsibility it carries. The blessing strengthens our mission, encourages renewed commitment to prayer and service, and entrusts our work to the guidance and protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary as we continue striving to bring hope and spiritual renewal to communities across the nation.
The blessing reads as follows: “The Holy Father Leo XIV on the occasion of the Holy Year 2025 cordially imparts the requested Apostolic Blessing to the President, Kristin Bird, and all the Members of the Eucharistic Rosary Congresses and invoking a fresh outpouring of heavenly graces he commends them to the maternal protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary that by the witness of generous and faithful hearts the Flame of Hope may always shine brightly in our world.”
As the universal Church celebrates this Jubilee Year of Hope and looks ahead to the Jubilee of Redemption in 2033, the Eucharistic Rosary Congresses prays that its apostolic work may help draw all people into deeper unity within our One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.

Marian Apparitions and the Rosary
Throughout the history of the Church, God has permitted the Blessed Virgin Mary to appear in particular times and places to call her children back to her Son. These Marian apparitions are never additions to the Gospel, nor do they introduce new doctrines. Rather, as the Church consistently teaches, they serve as urgent reminders of the truths already entrusted to the Church: prayer, repentance, conversion, and trust in Jesus Christ.
The 2025 Eucharistic Rosary Congresses
Once again, the Eucharistic Rosary Congresses arrive at a moment when our nation and our Church urgently need prayer. Two years ago, war broke out in the Middle East on the very first day of the Congress, October 7. Last year, a powerful hurricane threatened Florida during this same week. This year, we have witnessed a troubling increase in death and violence across our country. Each of these signs reminds us of the need to gather together in prayer under the mantle of Our Lady.
First Saturdays and the Little Way of Naaman
Like Naaman, so often we want to do great things for God. But that’s not how it works. God, in His mercy, asks us to do little things for Him. And when we are humble and devoted and strong enough to do what is little, He then does great things in us. He makes us capable of being in heaven, of receiving Him.
Why We Do Not Use AI-Generated Sacred Images
At Eucharistic Rosary Congresses, we believe that sacred art must reflect the truth, beauty, and dignity of our Catholic faith. While artificial intelligence has its place in certain creative projects, it cannot replace the unique, prayerful, and deeply human act of creating sacred images. For this reason, we do not use AI-generated images to depict Our Lord, Our Lady, or any of the saints in our materials.
History of the Eucharistic Rosary Congresses
The Rosary Congresses began in Poland in May 1979 to coincide with Pope St. John Paul II's historic visit to the former Communist country. They are now held in dozens of dioceses throughout the United States. Will your parish join us in responding to Our Lady of Fatima’s call to conversion, consecration and prayer, offered in a spirit of reparation, for life, peace, and the deep healing of our Church?
