Traveling Rosary Congress
To hold a Traveling Rosary Congress:
In some dioceses there may not be enough resources available in a single parish to hold a Rosary Congress for seven days. In that case, a Traveling Rosary Congress can be held with up to seven parishes, each hosting a 24-hour period of the Rosary Congress.
The time of the Opening and Closing Masses may be adjusted, however, the following schedule is recommended:- Each 24 hour period is held at a different parish in the diocese.
- Opening Mass begins at 7 pm (followed by 1 hour for Confessions if possible).
- Eucharistic Procession is held around the inside of the Church.
- Eucharistic Adoration with a Rosary prayed every hour begins immediately following the Mass.
- Closing Mass is celebrated at 6 pm the following day (Confessions offered for one hour before Mass if possible).
- Opening Mass begins at 7 pm at the next parish.
- Continue with number 3-6 above with each host parish until the final Closing Mass.
Note: Providing the Rosary Binder for each of the 4 sets of mysteries (available in the Resources page) with the order of the prayers will ensure your adoration hours run smoothly and systematically, providing about 30 minutes of vocal prayer for all to unite and about 30 minutes of personal, silent prayer. Meditations for each mystery were written by a member of the The Order of the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
