The Forty Hours Devotion and the Diocesan Rosary Congress at Corpus Christi Chapel from October 7th to 9th, 2025.

The Diocese of Venice Rosary Congress 2025

Seven days of Eucharistic Adoration and Hourly Rosary in response to Our Lady of Fatima’s call to conversion, consecration, and prayer. The Eucharistic Rosary Congress encourages us to renew our worship of Our Lord, Jesus Christ in the Eucharist! 

We are participating in the Rosary Congress of the Diocese of Venice. The theme for the 2025 Diocesan Rosary Congress is "My Soul Magnifies the Lord" (Luke 1:46), is the beginning of the Blessed Virgin Mary’s hymn of praise at the Visitation commonly known as the Magnificat. Mary, pregnant with the Incarnate Word of God, Jesus, is prompted by the inspired greeting of her cousin, Elizabeth, who is herself pregnant with a son, later to be known as John the Baptist, the “Forerunner of the Lord.” This exultant joy of the Blessed Mother for the tremendous favor bestowed on her by the Triune God is an example to us as we meditate, through the Rosary, on the mysteries of Christ’s life and the salvation He won for us!

In Corpus Christi Chapel, the ceremony will begin with a Mass on Tuesday, October 7th, at 7:30 a.m. Following the Mass, the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed for 40 hours. There will be a second Mass on Wednesday, October 8th, at 7:30 a.m., and a third Mass at 5:30 p.m. A fourth Mass will take place on Thursday, October 9th, at 7:30 a.m. Click here to sign up to spend time accompanying our Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament .

Bishop Frank J. Dewane highlighted the power of the Rosary and called on everyone to pray it, live it, and persevere.
