“It is not merely we who pray, but His Spirit who prays in us. And we who busy ourselves in announcing the Lord’s kingdom need to come back often enough and sit at His feet and listen still more closely.”
~ Congregation of Holy Cross Constitution 3:32
During September, the Congregation of Holy Cross, United States Province of Priests and Brothers, is collaborating with Holy Cross Family Ministries, the University of Notre Dame, generous donors, and lay collaborators for prayer, witness, and renewal for students, families, and the Church. Marian devotion is growing, and this is a timely opportunity, especially given the state of our world, to respond together under Our Lady’s mantle. These collaborations are a beautiful sign of our Holy Cross unity and charism, and a bold testimony to the power of prayer in our world today.
People of all ages are invited to join us for any and all of the following:

Rosary Rally
September 7
Celebrate a memorable Rosary Rally on September 7, 2025, at the University of Notre Dame as we commemorate the 75th Anniversary of Venerable Patrick Peyton’s first Rosary Rally.

Novena
September 7-14
Join a virtual novena to Our Lady of Sorrows, patroness of the Congregation of Holy Cross. Each day, a moderator will host the spiritual session. A digital book and video recording will guide this prayerful moment.

Rosary Walk
September – beyond
Find solace with prayer locally at the Congregation’s Rosary Walk, which is being dedicated in September. This new space invites visitors worldwide to pray the rosary while enjoying the beauty of nature.
