Pope Francis urges all Catholics to join him and Marian Shrines around the world to dedicate the month of May to a marathon of prayer for an end to the Covid-19 pandemic. He began the month of prayer leading a Rosary on Saturday, May 1 in Saint Peter’s Basilica (watch now). He will conclude the month of prayer on Monday, May 31 at 11:45am. Each day at noon throughout the month, a Rosary will be prayed from 30 different Marian Shrines. To join in the marathon, tune in to CatholicTV every day at noon Eastern in May. As a result, CatholicTV Mass will air at 1pm.
