A mind-blowing event, the likes of which had never taken place in Belfast — in this land of Saints Patrick, Colmcille, and Bridget of Kildare.
In October 2023 — the month dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary — the Legion of Mary in the Diocese of Down and Connor launched what would become its flagship annual event. The inaugural Belfast Rosary Festival was a full, busy week of prayer, devotion, and celebration that brought the Catholic community together in a way that Belfast had not seen before. What began as a bold vision became a landmark moment for the faith in Northern Ireland.
From One Week to an Annual Tradition
What started as one groundbreaking week in 2023 has grown into an annual tradition that draws Catholics from across the island. The Belfast Rosary Festival is now one of the biggest Catholic events in Ireland — a testament to the power of prayer, the devotion of legionaries, and the intercession of Our Blessed Mother.
The Tradition Continues
