16 May 2021, St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney, Holy Rosary From the Cathedral Church and Minor Basilica of the Immaculate Mother of God, Help of Christians in Sydney, Australia. Recitation of the Holy Rosary to pray for an end of the COVID-19 Pandemic and for all victims of violence and human trafficking. Celebrant: Archbishop Anthony Fisher OP, Archbishop of Sydney The Holy Father Pope Francis has requested that during this month of May the entire Church invoke the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary for the end of the pandemic and, in a special way, he has invited all Catholics to pray fervently for those most closely affected by it. During each day of May, guided by a calendar with specific intentions, all the Shrines around the world, united in a communion of supplication, will lift up their prayers, which, like the fragrance of incense, will rise up to heaven. Thirty Marian Shrines will take turns leading this prayer throughout the Church and offering the faithful a series of prayer moments for them to participate throughout the entire day. At St Mary’s Cathedral we are invited to pray specifically for all victims of violence and human trafficking.
