Over 150 locations to congregate have been identified for an event aimed at promoting the Faith and the protection of the unborn.
‘Rosary on the Coast for Life and Faith’, organised by lay people, will see Faithful from across Ireland gather to recite the rosary on the coast. It was inspired by similar gatherings in Poland and Italy, which saw thousands of people gather in prayer.
It will be held on the Feast of Christ the King on November 26.
According to one of the organisers, former MEP Kathy Sinnot, three bishops have said they would be attending: Bishop Ray Browne, Bishop Phonsie Cullinan and Bishop Donal McKeown.
Mrs Sinnot said the event is a response to the “crisis that faces Ireland” in relation to proposed abolitions of legal protections for the unborn in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
“We’re guessing there will be 200 sites as we get nearer the time,” Mrs Sinnot said. “We are threatened with abortion, and abortion on demand especially.”
Organisers say on Facebook that “Ireland, North and South, is facing an immediate threat to the protection of our unborn babies”.
A prayer programme and hymn sheet have been arranged for the event.
