Father Joseph Roesch, MIC, shares with us about the many candles in Lourdes on our Marian pilgrimage through France.

Father Joe Roesch, MIC, the Marians' vicar general, talks about Our Lady's call for a simple prayer — the Rosary. Pray it daily, says Fr. Joe, and thereby "unite with Our Lady in her plan for peace for the world."

Thousands of faithful gathered at the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy for Encuentro Latino 2025, a powerful day of prayer, culture, and community. Pilgrims from across the region came together for Spanish-language Mass, inspiring talks, and a moving rosary procession that led into the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and Benediction. The event also featured lively music, children’s activities, and opportunities for confession and spiritual renewal. Families and individuals united in faith, celebrating their heritage while deepening their trust in God’s mercy.
