Pope Leo XIV has called for a worldwide recitation of the Holy Rosary on Saturday, May 30, at 1 p.m. EST, as the Marian month comes to a close.

Pope Leo will pray the Joyful Mysteries, with each decade being dedicated specifically to those affected by war and violence and entrusting them to the intercession of Mary, Queen of Peace.

Please join the Diocese of Kalamazoo and faithful around the world in praying the Rosary this Saturday.
