Every year since 2007, America Needs Fatima holds the Public Square Rosary Crusade, with thousands of Rosary Rallies taking place in cities across the country. The Rosary Rallies take place on the closest Saturday to Oct. 13, the feast of the last apparition of Our Lady of Fatima and the Miracle of the Sun, and is a time when people gather in unison to pray for the intentions that God will bless the nation and for a conversion of hearts among all people.

Among the more than 23,000 groups from across the country that are expected to participate in this year’s Rosary Rallies, which are scheduled for Oct. 15 at noon, will be parishioners representing a number of parishes from around the four-county Diocese of Trenton.

“The Fatima message emphasizes the core beliefs and devotions of the Catholic faith such as the Eucharist, the Rosary and the Holy Trinity,” said Michelle Perone, who is organizing the Rosary Rally for three Mercer County parishes this year – Incarnation-St. James, Ewing, where she is a member; Our Lady of Good Counsel, West Trenton, and Sacred Heart Parish, Trenton.

“My hope is that this Rosary Rally and those being held across the country, will encourage more people to not only join our Rosary group but to rediscover the important blessing that the Rosary provides to God’s people,” Perone said.

Perone noted that 2022 marks the first year that the three parishes are participating in the rally together on the campus of Incarnation Church, 1545 Pennington Rd., Ewing.

A schedule of other Public Square Rosary Rallies follows:

St. Mark Parish, 250 Crescent Parkway, Sea Girt, will gather on the side lawn, near the Visitation Memorial. Participants are encouraged to bring a folding chair.

St. Barnabas Parish, 33 Woodland Ave., Bayville, will convene in the parish chapel.

St. Mary Parish, 747 West Bay Ave., Barnegat, will host its rally in front of the church.

St. Mary Parish, 19 Cherry Tree Farm Rd., Middletown, will host gather under the big tent on the parish grounds.

St. Katharine Drexel Parish, Burlington, will gather in front of All Saints Church, 502 High Street.

St. Mary of the Lakes Parish, 40 Jackson Rd., Medford, will gather on the front lawn of the church.

St. Justin the Martyr Parish, Toms River, will host its rally at the Bellcrest Plaza parking lot, 931 Fischer Blvd. Toms River, which is next to the parish. Participants are asked to bring a Rosary, an American flag and chair. For any questions or concerns, call Patti at 732-678-7367.

Visitation Parish, 755 Mantoloking Rd., Brick, will gather in front of the old church.

Our Lady of Sorrows-St. Anthony Parish, Hamilton’s Rosary-Altar Rosary, Respect Life Group and America for Fatima Group will host the rally in the church meeting room on the campus of Our Lady of Sorrows Church, 3816 East State Street Ext., Hamilton.
