Defending God’s Marriage:
1,160 Rosary Rallies Take Place in America’s Public Square
Despite negative cultural pressures, the defense of marriage as the lifelong union of one man and one woman remains vital for America’s future. This past weekend, thousands of Catholics gathered to defend this institution by participating in 1,160 pro-marriage rosary rallies to publicly pray for the protection of the holy sacrament of marriage. Rally goers held up banners that proclaimed to those walking or driving by: “God’s Marriage = 1 Man + 1 Woman.” They also followed a prayer program developed by America Needs Fatima, organizers of the rallies, which included the rosary, intentions, litanies and other prayers.
Public support for the homosexual agenda is waning1 even among youth and liberals. There is a growing desire to bring marriage back to God’s design, for the good of society. It is encouraging to know that lawmakers in several states are seeking ways to reverse Obergefell v. Hodges2, the 2015 Supreme Court ruling that allowed for same-sex “marriages.”
News like this offers a bright spot to the idea of returning to God’s design for marriage and family. Another bright spot is seeing so many people show up in public to visibly remind their communities that marriage is from God.
Here are a few photos and testimonials shared by rally captains from across the country:
“There was a chowder cook-off right next door so we had plenty of people in the area,” said Claudia M. from Merrit, N.C. “We received many thumbs up and honks from passersby (speed limit is only 10 MPH so we were quite visible). One man walking by even mouthed the words to the Hail Mary along with us. Super great! No protesters in sight either.”
“We've held a public rosary rally on the second Saturday of every month for three years this spring,” said Lori O. from St. Eolia, Mo. “We used to only hold a rally in October, as requested by America Needs Fatima, but we started doing it monthly, at your encouragement. Thank you for the awesome banners you provide. We also use a microphone, since outdoor rosaries are so loud. God bless ANF and all our rosary warriors nationwide!”
“Our church is located just outside a small but popular lake destination. We have a lot of Pittsburgh people during the spring and summer visiting the town and our church. We are blessed to have a core group that is out there every month praying, rain or shine,” Mary B. from Meadville, Penn., said. “We love Our Lady and we know that we and our church are being showered with blessings.”
“Our event was very successful and a lot of people joined us,” Carol Z. from Clearwater, Fla., said. “We used pro-life banners along with the banner for traditional marriage. A few people gave us some not nice gestures and some people yelled and honked us angrily, but we also had a lot of good honks. After saying the rosary, all the litanies, and praying to Saint Michael, a woman drove up and called to me. She had a child in her car that she told me she once considered aborting. She even went to the abortion clinic and then said ‘no’ and walked out. She now is in love with her son and is pro-life. We prayed for her and she hopefully will join us next month because she said she loves what we are doing.”
“We know Our Lord’s teaching on marriage as a pillar of society is unchangeable and must be defended always, most importantly in the public square,” Robert E. Ritchie, executive director of America Needs Fatima. “Once marriage and family are undermined, society crumbles. That is why we are so thankful for each of the 1,160 rally captains who led thousands of Americans to stand for God’s marriage last weekend.”
A Challenge for All!
This year, America Needs Fatima is challenging every person to become a rosary rally captain in honor of a loved one who is sick, has passed away, or is facing difficult circumstances. To join thousands of Catholics in this endeavor for Our Lady, visit Rosary Rally Central to sign up as a captain for any of the many themed rosary rallies being held in 2026.
Have ye not read, that he who made man from the beginning, made them male and female? And he said: For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore, now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. Matthew 19:4-6
