Mosaic TV on “Our Mother Mary and the Rosary Rally”
September 29, 5:30 a.m.
KPIX television Channel 5, CBS Bay Area
The Archdiocese of San Francisco has at its heart a special place for Mary, the Mother of Jesus: a special love, a special admiration, and a special devotion. Our Cathedral has always been named in her honor, and many other institutions are as well, and we celebrate wholeheartedly her feast days.
The Rosary is a form of prayer specially connected with Mary. In 1961 San Francisco was the site of perhaps the largest religious gathering in the history of the United States, when half a million people gathered peacefully in Golden Gate Park to pray the Rosary together with Fr. Patrick Peyton at the Rosary Rally.
Beginning on the 50th anniversary of that event (in 2011), lovers of Mary in the Archdiocese of San Francisco revived the tradtion of the Rosary Rally. On October 5, 2019, for the ninth year in a row, all are welcome to gather in St. Mary's Cathedral for Mass (with Archbishop Cordileone), and then to walk with him to United Nations Plaza, with the Blessed Sacrament, for prayer, preaching, and benediction.
On this edition of
Mosaic, Raymond Frost (local leader of the Legion of Mary) and Deacon R. Chrisoph Sandoval discuss Mary, the Rosary, the history of the Rosary Rally and its local renewal, and our Archdiocese’s renewed consecration to the Mother of God. Past episodes of
