The Worldpriest Annual Global Rosary Relay 2025 promotional video is now officially launched
This specially-commissioned video https://youtu.be/h5e3S0PVJbI promotes the Worldpriest Global Rosary Relay for 27 June 2025 for the Sanctification of Priests and is now formally launched. Please share this video widely on your social media networks, your diocesan website and all parish websites. It was produced by our Worldpriest director Colm Flynn of EWTN fame to encourage as many people as possible to pray the Rosary around the world on 27 June, regardless of their location.
What started as a modest prayer event for the sanctification of priests now encompasses the entire world in a twenty-four-hour period and touches the lives of millions and millions of people as they collectively pray the Rosary in a real time relay that is truly spiritual – all because Our Lady gifted us with the inspiration of ‘20 Countries 20 Mysteries’ some sixteen years ago.
