The Women’s Rosary has grown significantly since its inception, transforming from a modest assembly of 300 women into one of the largest pilgrimages in the Brazilian National Sanctuary of Aparecida, with participation soaring to over 30,000 individuals from various regions of the country. This event, inspired by the men's equivalent, the Rosary of Men, showcases the growing involvement of women in faith-related gatherings and community prayer initiatives.

This pilgrimage, a cherished tradition for 13 years, focuses on three days filled with communal prayer, reflecting the deep-rooted Catholic devotion in Brazil. Held at Aparecida Basilica, recognized as the world's largest Marian sanctuary and Brazil's largest Catholic church, the event emphasizes the inclusive nature of the Catholic faith, drawing individuals from diverse backgrounds. The upcoming edition, set to take place from Friday, September 13 to Sunday, September 15, invites both seasoned participants and newcomers alike.

Fr. Jorge Américo, a redemptorist missionary and the church's Prefect, outlines the grassroots origins of this movement, which began in 2014 when three women from Vargem Grande do Sul organized the first pilgrimage to express gratitude to the Virgin Mary. Their initiative has blossomed into a national event symbolizing unity, faith, and the empowerment of women within the church, reinforcing Aparecida's role as a significant spiritual landmark for Catholics across Brazil.
