Rosary Crusade 2021

Rosary Crusade passes Harrods

 After no Crusade in 2020, it was great to be back on the streets of London giving honour to the Queen of Heaven.  The Marian Franciscans led the rosary though the streets of the Capital to "drive evil out of the streets of London and fill the street with beautiful MARIAN flowers." (Fr. Philomeno).  Following the usual route from Westminster Cathedral to the Brompton Oratory, the Crusade of 1,100 souls sang and prayed in the warm autumn sunshine giving praise to God and His Blessed Mother.  Fr Ronald Creighton-Jobe (Cong. Orat.) greeted Our Lady on the steps of the great Church and we prayed the Litany of Loreto, the Fatima prayers, and made our Consecration to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary.  Following the lovely Fatima Hymn, Father gave a final blessing to conclude a lovely afternoon.  Next year, please God, we will be back inside the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary where we can better honour the Queen of Heaven and the "fruit of her womb",  Our Lord Jesus,  in the Blessed Sacrament.
