2027 FESTIVAL PROGRAMME
1,000 Rosaries Distributed Across Belfast
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we raised enough to purchase 1,000 rosaries, which were distributed free of charge across Belfast during Our Lady’s Rosary Festival 2026.
The campaign was a great success and helped place a rosary directly into the hands of people throughout the city.
Thank you to everyone who donated and supported the initiative.

About us
The Rosary Festival is organised by the Legion of Mary and the Knights of Saint Columbanus. We have come together to spread the works of mercy and the Good News across Belfast and beyond.
The festival grew out of the Annual Rosary Procession in Belfast, which has been proudly held for several decades and organised by the Legion of Mary.
In 2023, the week-long Rosary Festival culminated in the Annual Procession. The efforts of all those involved led to an increase in attendance, from about 150 in 2022 to over 800 attendees in 2023. For more history and information about our values, please read on.
