Millions of people from around the world are expected to prepare for the Holy Year by praying the Rosary on the first-ever World Rosary 7 Oct this year. The event is a response to the request of Pope Francis’ call to “dedicate the year preceding the Jubilee event, 2024, to a great ‘symphony’ of prayer' . Many parishes, confraternities, sanctuaries, religious orders and other lay associations have already signed up for the global event. In Italy, at 7pm Archbishop Rolandas Makrickas will lead the recitation of the Rosary in Latin at the Papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major, in the chapel of the Salus Populi Romani, a place of special spiritual significance ahead of the Jubilee.  Students from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome (the Angelicum) will walk in procession to the Basilica, leaving the Angelicum at 6pm.
