HANOVER, Penn., Sept. 3, 2025 /Christian Newswire/ — Street corners across America will be lifted in prayer this October 11 as 23,090 dedicated individuals have stepped up to become rally captains for the annual Public Square Rosary Crusade. This breaks the previous record of 22,662 rallies set in 2024, illustrating a continuing rise in the public’s desire to make reparation and pray for the conversion of America. Captains will gather friends and family to recite the holy rosary together, sing hymns to the Blessed Mother, and pray for intentions.
The annual Public Square Rosary Crusade, organized by America Needs Fatima, was started in 2007 to bring attention to the Miracle of the Sun that took place near Fatima at noon on October 13, 1917. On that day, 70,000 people witnessed the sun “dance” in a biblical and brilliant display of the power of God through the intercession of His Holy Mother – and was a sign that Our Lady keeps her promises.
Since 2007, America Needs Fatima has helped organize more than 354,000 individual rosary rallies in towns and cities across America – bringing millions of people together in prayer. Each rally varies in size from a handful of friends to several dozen community members gathering for this most urgent purpose.
“The Fatima message continues to offer a remedy to the insanity in today’s society,” Francis Slobodnik, district manager, America Needs Fatima, said. “Each rally has a ripple effect, touching those who participate as well as the countless who walk or drive by. Each is a clear acknowledgement of our need to ask God to save us from so much moral corruption and chaos to ask the Blessed Mother for her protections.”
America Needs Fatima (www.ANF.org) is a campaign of the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP). In addition to coordinating national public rosary rallies, America Needs Fatima promotes the Fatima message and Catholic culture by bringing the statue of Our Lady of Fatima to private home visitations, organizing protests against blasphemies, distributing millions of rosaries, devotional items and calendars, and more.
