Public Rosary · first Saturday of every month

Rosary Knights

“To Christ the King through the Queen”

Catholic men who pray the Holy Rosary kneeling in the public squares of their city on the first Saturday of every month, to bear witness to the faith and to pray for the conversion of all.

First bead

Every first Saturday, in the square

We are a lay movement that promotes and sustains, as an apostolic action, the praying of the Holy Rosary led by men, primarily in public spaces, in response to the requests of our Mother, the Most Holy Virgin Mary, particularly under her title of Our Lady of Fátima.

Many men have disappeared from the public life of the Church. Seeing them pray kneeling in the square is a sign that draws attention. We exclude no one: this charism is directed to men, and the Ladies of Rosary Knights accompany us in the battalions.

“If Christ, in his wisdom and love, came to us through Mary, it would be wise and loving for us to seek to go to Christ through Mary.”

Third bead

Four virtues

The style of Rosary Knights: for the recovery of a virtuous and responsible masculinity.

  1. Virility in militancy

    The Christian man must recover the permanent struggle for mastery of himself in virtue, and be ready to answer boldly his own call in the faith, for his personal sanctification and the salvation of souls.

  2. Humility in service

    “For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mk 10:45

    If Jesus Christ and the Most Holy Virgin Mary spared no effort in serving, how much more should we strive to imitate that same humility in service?

  3. Sacrifice and heroic self-giving

    “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” Jn 15:13

    What should we hold back in giving ourselves to God and to our neighbor, if God himself has loved us to the point of dying for us? The life of the Christian man seeks total self-giving to God and to neighbor.

  4. Charity in truth

    “Without truth, charity degenerates into sentimentality. Love becomes an empty shell, to be filled in an arbitrary way.” Benedict XVI, Caritas in veritate, 3

    We strive to do everything out of love in truth.

Fourth bead

A battalion

A battalion is a group of men from the same locality who choose a busy square and pray the Holy Rosary there on the first Saturday of every month. In small towns one battalion is enough; in large cities there can be several, one per area.

To begin, a coordinator and a deputy coordinator are enough. Over time, the battalion is completed with five people in charge. When it is born it is in formation; the central coordination contacts it, verifies it and provides its materials and its official WhatsApp group.
