2025 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage
By Praedicare Staff

On Saturday, September 27, the Dominican Friars hosted the 3rd annual Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC. Over 4,000 pilgrims from around the world gathered for a day of preaching, Eucharistic Adoration, Mass and a solemn enrollment in the Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary. That evening, the critically acclaimed bluegrass band composed entirely of friars, The Hillbilly Thomists, treated attendees to a concert under the stars on the mall of the Catholic University of America. 

The graces God poured out were innumerable—but a handful of stats give a sense of how awesome the 2025 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage was!
