SPRING GROVE, Penn., July 8, 2026 /Standard Newswire/ — America Needs Fatima (ANF) has begun to recruit 23,500 volunteers to lead rosary rallies in their communities as part of the national Public Square Rosary Crusade taking place October 10, 2026. This is the nineteenth year of this event, which brings Catholic Americans into the public to pray for reparation and for the conversion of the nation. Thousands of rally captains from past years have already signed up to return to America’s public spaces to lead friends, family and others in prayer for the soul of the country. Interested individuals can sign up at www.ANF.org/october or at https://americaneedsfatima.org/october-rally-captain-sign-up-spanish.
ANF supports rally captains with a free, step-by-step manual (in English and Spanish), which can be downloaded at www.ANF.org/rallies. The manual helps captains organize rallies and invite attendees, and includes a prayer program for the day of the rally. ANF also provides a free banner to display during the rally, downloadable posters and artwork, and ongoing phone and email support.
Since 2007, America Needs Fatima has organized more than 400,000 monthly and protest rosary rallies, with the October public crusade always being the largest. Last year, more than 23,000 rallies took place during the national crusade, and each was attended by between 2 and 250 people, as reported by rally captains.
“The Fatima message, which is to pray the rosary for peace in our world, is more relevant today than ever,” said Mr. Robert E. Ritchie, executive director of America Needs Fatima. “Moral corruption and chaos are prevalent throughout our society and need to be overcome and corrected. We are now asking America’s faithful to stand up on street corners across the country and lead others in prayer, asking God and the Blessed Mother to save us from the evil that is found everywhere.”
America Needs Fatima is a campaign of the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP).
