Adelaide in Australia witnessed its inaugural Catholic men’s Rosary rally on Saturday, August 5. The Rosary rally was held near St. Francis Xavier Cathedral and was preceded by a Holy Mass. Men who participated in the Rosary rally also had the opportunity to go to confession. 

Sydney in New South Wales holds the distinction of being the first Australian city to organize a Rosary rally on the first Saturday of each month, attracting hundreds of participants. Public praying of the Rosary was pioneered by Catholic men in Poland and subsequently spread to other nations. 

Motivated by the image of Polish men publicly praying the Rosary, Dr. Owen Gallagher and Patrick McCrystal, the executive director of Human Life International Ireland, launched men's Rosary rallies in multiple places spanning both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. These rallies are now held in more than 20 diverse locations across these two regions. 

The inaugural Rosary rally in the United States took place in Austin, Texas, on February 5, 2022.
