ROSARY PILGRIMAGE AT NATIONAL SHRINE

WASHINGTON, D.C.--Father Patrick Peyton, C.S.C. (left), founder of

the Family Rosary Crusade, leads a procession during the National

Rosary Pilgrimage at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception

in Washington, D.C. Msgr. William McDonough, director of the Shrine,

walks beside Father Peyton.

The pilgrimage brought thousands to Washington from almost every

state in the country. It was the climax to a series of pilgrimages

held during October, the month of the Holy Rosary, and was held in

response to a plea from Pope Paul VI who asked rectors of Marian

shrines to make them places from which people will return home fired

with the resolve to work for the peace of the world and the unity of

the Church.
