Rosary Aotearoa began with a simple but powerful vision: to unite the faithful of New Zealand in prayer through the Holy Rosary. On 7 October 2018, at exactly 3:00 PM, Catholics from across the country gathered in churches, homes, and public places to pray the Rosary together. This marked the beginning of the Rosary Rally Campaign, held every first Sunday of October, aligning with the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.

Born out of humility and devotion, Rosary Aotearoa responded to the global call for national prayer, joining hands with other nations in answering Our Lady’s appeal for penance, peace, and conversion through the Rosary.

Each year, we invite and encourage all Marian devotees and Catholic faithful to be part of this growing movement. Whether you pray alone, with your family, parish, or community, your participation becomes part of a nationwide tapestry of prayer lifting our hearts as one to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Join us every first Sunday of October at 3:00 PM.
Together, let us be a praying nation united in faith, hope, and love.
