National Rosary event along British coast has the support of top prelates

A grassroots Catholic crusade for a day of a Rosary prayer for the future of Great Britain has gained the support of key prelates, following on similar initiatives in Poland, Ireland and Italy.

The campaign, which now has 60 confirmed locations along the British coast, has garnered the endorsement of the Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Bishop John Keenan of Paisley (Scotland), Bishop Philip Egan of Portsmouth, the Archdiocese of St Andrews & Edinburgh, as well as a number of other clerics and associations.

Organizers have called on the faithful In Scotland, England and Wales to gather along Britain’s coasts on April 29th to pray the Rosary for “faith, life and peace in the British Isles.” The traditional Rosary prayer invokes the intercession of the Virgin Mary, asking her to beseech her son Jesus to come to the aid of those in need…

In a video post, Bishop John Keenan of Paisley called for Catholic to come out to pray, “imploring Our Lady to now arouse a great renewal of our Christian faith in our country.” He said that prayers should be directed in a special way against rampant secularization, as well as to “bring about an end to the scourge of abortion in our land, and usher in a new era of peace for all our nations.”
