About us
The Rosary Festival is organised by the Legion of Mary, the Knights of Saint Columbanus, and Youth2000. These groups have come together to spread the works of mercy & good news across Belfast and further afield.
The festival grew out of the Annual Rosary Procession in Belfast, which has been proudly held for several decades and organised by the Legion of Mary.
In 2023, the week-long Rosary Festival culminated in the Annual Procession. The efforts of all those involved led to an increase in attendance, from about 150 in 2022 to over 800 attendees in 2023. For more history and information about our values, please read on.
