HANOVER, Penn., Oct. 21, 2026 /Standard Newswire/ — In a historic display of Catholic faith, more than 24,700 simultaneous rosary rallies were held in communities all across the nation this past weekend. For love of God and country, hundreds of thousands of men, women and children stood shoulder to shoulder to pray for the conversion of the nation and the world, the reparation of sins, and a full return to God in the culture. Millions more witnessed the rallies, which were organized by volunteers with the support of America Needs Fatima as part of the annual Public Square Rosary Crusade.
These peaceful rosary rallies mark the anniversary of the October 13, 1917, Miracle of the Sun, a supernatural event of biblical proportions in which 70,000 people witnessed dramatic movements of the sun at Cora da Iria, near Fatima. Through each rally, Our Lady’s Fatima message resounds: “Say the rosary every day, to obtain peace for the world.”
They also bring much-needed attention to the countless offenses against God and the Catholic Church that are so prevalent in today’s culture. Sadly, these include all-ages drag queen performances in libraries and family restaurants, Paranormal Cirque events that mock the Church while glamorizing Satan, death and the occult, and homosexual “pride masses” held within Catholic churches.
Rally captains from throughout the nation reported back to ANF with the success of their rallies, including Ann from Essex Junction, Vt., who said, “It was a wonderful turnout on a beautiful autumn day. People were grateful to be a part of this Rosary for Peace.” Prosperita from Des Plaines, Ill., said, “Most of us were the first timers and it was really an amazing feeling. Some of us felt fulfilled and some felt joy within them.”
“Everywhere you look, it seems the Catholic faith is being viciously attacked,” said Robert E. Ritchie, director of America Needs Fatima. “To hear hundreds of thousands of American voices rise up in prayer is a much-needed step to stop our crumbling culture. When we participate in public events centered around God and prayer, everyone benefits and much is accomplished, even more than we may ever fully know. Our Lady is pleased with everyone who planned and participated in a rosary rally last weekend.”
