On Saturday, 8 October, the army of the Men’s Rosary prayed throughout the world kneeling before the Queen, the Virgin Mary, to whom they entrusted all their intentions.
The date for this great event was chosen because October is the Month of the Rosary, the day after the feast of the Virgen del Rosario; and a few days before the festival of the Virgen del Pilar, on October 12.
