What to expect

Join us for the Annual Rosary Procession, the concluding event of Our Lady’s Rosary Festival 2026. The procession will leave St Malachy’s Church at 2.30pm and make its way through Belfast to St Peter’s Cathedral, praying the Holy Rosary together in honour of Our Lady.

It will conclude with Benediction and refreshments at St Peter’s Cathedral.

A procession that grew into a festival

The Legion of Mary has organised Belfast’s Annual Rosary Procession for decades. In 2023 it became a week-long festival, run together with the Knights of Saint Columbanus, and attendance at the procession grew from around 150 in 2022 to more than 800 in 2023. The festival has grown every year since.

Come with your parish, your praesidium or your family, and bring a rosary. If you are a legionary, walk with your praesidium.
