What is the Campus Rosary Crusade?


College students organize a public square rosary in Mainz, Germany.

Dear Student,

While Saint Dominic was preaching devotion to the Holy Rosary, a possessed man started blaspheming. Knowing the spiritual state of the man, Saint Dominic wrapped a Rosary around his neck and demanded:

“Whom do you fear the most?”

Forced to answer, the demon replied: “Our Lady! Our Lady!” Then, instantly, the poor soul was free. Satan had fled. The Blessed Mother had triumphed over Satan. Such is the power of Rosary.

TFP Student Action is coordinating a challenging new campaign: the Campus Rosary Crusade. Everyone is invited to participate, and I need to know if you are willing to lead a Rosary group on your campus. To sign up now, click here.

Please let me explain why the Campus Rosary Crusade is so important.

Our Lady appeared at Fatima, Portugal, in 1917 with a message for the world. She said that if men did not convert, pray, and do penance, Russia would spread its errors worldwide, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. Many would be martyred, the Holy Father would suffer, and a chastisement would annihilate several nations.

As Our Lady predicted, the errors of Communist Russia spread far and wide, and, even though America did not accept Communism, the Cultural Revolution—a byproduct of Communism—is currently destroying our nation from within. For example:

  • Abortion, pornography, and unnatural vice rip the family to shreds
  • Blasphemy threatens the Faith

So how can you and I fight back? By praying the Rosary, the most powerful spiritual weapon of contemporary history. With the Rosary, Saint Dominic defeated heresy, Catholic forces were victorious against the Ottoman Turks at the battle of Lepanto in 1571, Communists were expelled from Vienna, and many more miracles and victories were won.

How powerful is the Rosary! Is there any prayerful weapon more powerful, capable of overcoming heresies, defeating armies, and expelling the errors of Communist Russia?

To start a Campus Rosary Crusade chapter, all you need are a few friends, your Rosary, and the Faith of a Crusader. It’s that simple, and I can think of no better way to stop the Cultural Revolution, hasten the triumph of good over evil, and answer the urgent requests of the Queen of Heaven, who foretold the devastation of Communism, which has martyred and persecuted millions…

Do you want to join?

Your immediate response is vital because we are racing against time to set up Campus Rosary Crusade chapters in all 50 states before May 13—the 90th anniversary of Fatima. Of course, if you decide to become a Rosary leader, you will have our support.

Sincerely in Jesus and Mary,

John Ritchie
TFP Student Action Director
