Network of Catholic Radios in Africa Set to Broadcast Live the “International Rosary”

“Volunteers and Radio Maria staff members have been working for months to ensure the success of this event, which will be grateful for each of us, for our families and for the whole world,” reads the statement.

In Kenya, the Director of Radio Maria in Murang’a diocese, Fr. Lawrence Mbugua confirmed the preparedness of the station to broadcast the Monday event saying, “We have already received the link for the live broadcast so we are waiting for the day.”

“Radio Maria is a radio associated closely with Mother Mary, so it feels good when we are all connected to pray the rosary and Kenya being part of it, then we are also participating in the mission,” Fr. Mbugua told ACI Africa.

In a communique availed to ACI Africa Wednesday by the Editorial Office of WFRM in Italy, the organization confirmed that the rosary scheduled to start at 3.00 p.m. Rome time will be presided over by the Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, Fernando Cardinal Filoni.

According to the communique, “This moment of prayer will be broadcast live on Radio Maria in more than 70 countries around the world … Up to 10 million people, therefore, will be praying the Rosary together,”
