On October 7, 2024, Catholics around the globe will unite in a profound act of faith and solidarity by participating in World Rosary Day, a pivotal event designed to spiritually prepare the faithful for the upcoming Jubilee Year 2025. This special day of prayer has been initiated in response to Pope Francis’ call for a “symphony of prayer” leading up to the Jubilee Year 2025 and underscores the Catholic Church’s commitment to fostering unity, hope, and spiritual renewal among its followers.
A Day of Unified Prayer
World Rosary Day marks a significant moment for Catholics worldwide, inviting them to come together in the recitation of the Rosary—a traditional Catholic prayer dedicated to the Virgin Mary.

From there, the Rosary will be recited across various time zones, ensuring that people everywhere can participate in a synchronized global prayer session.
Preparation for the Jubilee Year
