What is a Rosary Congress?

A Eucharistic Rosary Congress is seven days and nights of continuous Eucharistic Adoration in which the Holy Rosary is prayed aloud at the top of every hour, day and night, without interruption. Hosted in a parish or diocese, it is a sustained act of communal prayer before Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, offered for the conversion of sinners, the consecration of our nation, and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Apostolic Blessing Granted to the Eucharistic Rosary Congresses!

Apostolic Blessing of Pope Leo XIV to the Eucharistic Rosary Congresses

Apostolic Blessing of Pope Leo XIV to the Eucharistic Rosary Congresses

During 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 — a grace we receive with deep gratitude and a renewed sense of mission.

In the blessing, the Holy Father invokes a fresh outpouring of heavenly graces upon our work, commending all members of the ERC 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 Church celebrates this Jubilee Year of Hope and looks toward the Jubilee of Redemption in 2033, we pray that the Eucharistic Rosary Congresses may play its part in drawing all people into deeper unity within the 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.
