Bus rentals turn the celebration into a pilgrimage. Watch for updates in the Summer of 2026 for information on how to rent a bus for your group. Passengers on buses are brought to the loading dock, get off the bus, and simply walk a few steps to their seats. One of the best ways to promote the Arizona Rosary Celebration is by renting a bus for your group.

Buses can load and unload passengers at the Phoenix Convention Center south building either at the front of the building on 3rd Street (handicapped accessible ramp) or at the back of the building on 5th Street at the loading dock.

Blessing Procession and Parish Family Representative Pre-register your whole family or a small group of up to 4 people representing a school, Knights of Columbus council, or any Catholic organization. The Blessing Procession starts the program at 2:00 as participants process in and are blessed by Bishop Dolan and Bishop Nevares. Some families choose to carry a rose to present to Our Lady. Some organizations carry a banner with their name. Everyone in the blessing procession reserves their own seat in a designated area and signs in by 1:00 p.m. the day of the program.

Prayer Intentions Imagine thousands of people praying together for your special intentions!

Prayer boxes are located at most parishes throughout the Diocese of Phoenix so you can write out your prayer intentions and drop them in the box. Your parish representative will bring the box of prayer intentions to Arizona Rosary Celebration. We will pray together to lift your intentions to God during the celebration, and we will continue praying for your intentions all year.

Coming soon... A prayer intention slip (in English, Spanish, Vietnamese) that you can print and use to and write down your prayer intentions, or you can write your prayer intentions on any paper you have. You may also wish to download a page for kids to write or draw their prayer intentions (coming soon in English, Spanish). Put the written prayer intentions in the box at your parish or bring them to the celebration in October and place them in the prayer intention box when you come into the hall at the Phoenix Convention Center. God bless you.

Prayer Campaign Please join our prayer campaign for this statewide event. The prayer campaign is updated monthly. Thank you!
