Â
We honor Jesus Christ by bringing Mary's presence into communities through public processions, sacred encounters, and rose offerings to mothers, acting as a bridge to Jesus Christ through Mary.

What is the parade route? We expect the 2025 parade to be the same as last year, starting at Rice Park (5th St & Market St) and ending near Mears Park (5th St & Sibley St),
traveling along 5th Street. Below is a preliminary map showing the parade route and road closures. This is subject to change. See the Map on OUR WEBSITE
Where is the best place to park? We recommend parking in lots & ramps along Kellogg and north of 6th St E. The staging area usually
closes each year at 10 am. Then, 5th St E and intersecting roads between 6th St E & 4th St E close at 11 am.
What to Bring? Hat - Water Bottle - A prayerful spirit! - Courage! We always need more men to carry the image of Our Lady! Please spread the Word!
We will carry a beautiful statue of Our Lady of Fatima (graciously provided by the World Apostolate of Fatima) and distribute roses
(thank you Knights!), allowing the graces of this blessed statue to speak to the crowds(especially mothers). You will witness the powerful impact it has on those who witness the procession:
The crowd will fall into a reverent silence.Â
Children will make the sign of the cross, moved by the sacred image.Â
Mothers will find themselves encouraged and uplifted.Â
Fathers will open their minds and hearts to God.
Â
March With Mary is a collaborative effort! We extend our sincere gratitude to the local World Apostle of Fatima for sharing their stunning statues, and to the Knights of Columbus for their continued, invaluable
support.
