Global Rosary for Peace: Pope Leads Unity Prayer from Vatican Gardens

The Vatican says Pope Leo XIV will preside over a worldwide rosary for peace on May 30, linking major Marian shrines around the world via livestream and limited in-person attendance at the Vatican Gardens and the U.S. National Shrine in Washington. Coordinated by the Vatican Dicastery for Evangelization, the five joyful mysteries will focus each decade on victims of war, those offering hope, medical personnel, prisoners, and an end to war and lasting peace. Shrines from Fatima, Lourdes, Medjugorje, Zarvanytsia in Ukraine, Byblos in Lebanon, Antipolo in the Philippines, Loreto in Italy and others will participate; viewers can watch via Vatican News and shrine livestreams.
