‘Prayer is not passive’: Archbishop Smith announces monthly Rosary for Peace
BC Catholic | Pope Leo's recurring call for prayers for peace in the world are being echoed in Vancouver as Archbishop Richard Smith makes his first pastoral initiative a monthly Rosary for Peace at Holy Rosary Cathedral.
“Many people have been asking how they can respond to the violence and suffering we see in the world,” Archbishop Smith told The B.C. Catholic. “One of the most powerful ways we can respond as Christians is through prayer. The Church is not simply an NGO. Our greatest contribution to peace is prayer.”
The monthly Rosary for Peace will start on Oct. 4.

Inspired by Pope Leo’s recent call to prayer and fasting on the Feast of the Queenship of Mary, Archbishop Smith said the Rosary for Peace will begin Saturday, Oct. 4, at 11 a.m., and continue on the first Saturday of each month through June, with the exception of April when Holy Saturday falls on that weekend. He will lead the first gathering himself, with other leaders, musicians, and choirs from across the Archdiocese guiding future Rosaries.
