SW News: Scotland’s first Catholic men's Rosary Rally will take place in Glasgow on Saturday, April 1.

The rally will begin with a gathering at George Square in Glasgow at 10.30 am followed by the recitation of the Rosary at 11 am. This rally will be dedicated to praying for peace.

The practice of praying the Rosary publically was started by Catholic men in Poland. It soon spread to other countries.

Inspired by the pictures of Polish men praying the rosary in the streets, Dr. Owen Gallagher and Patrick McCrystal, executive director of Human Life International Ireland, initiated the men’s rosary rallies in several cities across Ireland. Now, these rallies take place in 20 different locations across the country.

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

As is the norm of most men’s Rosary rallies, the Scotland Rosary rally too would be part of the first Saturday devotion encouraged by the Blessed Virgin Mary in Fatima.
