Diocese of Venice to hold Eucharistic Rosary Congress Oct. 3-9

The Diocese of Venice will host a Eucharistic Rosary Congress from October 3 to October 9, 2026. Parishes throughout the diocese will hold events centered on the theme "My spirit rejoices in God my Savior."

While specific schedules vary by location, most parishes will begin the event with daily Mass and conclude with Mass at the same time the following day. During this 24-hour period, parishes typically offer perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and pray five decades of the Rosary every hour. Many locations will also provide the Sacrament of Penance during the event.

Jim Gontis, the diocesan director of evangelization, stated that the large amount of prayer offered through this effort will bring graces to families, the diocese, the universal Church, the nation, and the world. Parishioners can contact local churches or Jim Gontis for specific schedules.
