Rosary Rallies held across Canada in 2025: 1,000+

Pope Saint Sylvester I

Feast Day: December 31st

Pope Saint Sylvester ILittle is historically known about Pope Sylvester, though legend adds a few anecdotes.

It is known that his father was a Roman by name of Rufinus. He succeeded Pope Miltiades in 314 and reigned for twenty-one years.

With Emperor Constantine’s Edict of Milan in 313, Christianity was finally granted freedom. Legend has it, that having contracted leprosy, Emperor Constantine was healed after receiving baptism at the hand of St. Sylvester, and that afterwards, he made many gifts to the Church.

In any case, with the Edict of Milan, things certainly became easier for the Church.

It was during the reign of St. Sylvester that several great basilicas were built by Constantine: The Lateran, Santa Croce, St. Peter in the Vatican, and several cemetery churches over the graves of the martyrs. No doubt, St. Sylvester was involved in the construction of these churches.

St. Sylvester also contributed to the development of the Roman liturgy, and it was during his reign that the first martyrology was drawn up. Sylvester also established a Roman school of singing, and built a church over the Catacomb of St. Priscilla.

Pope Sylvester took part in the Council of Nicaea at which the heresy of Arianism was condemned. He also sent legates to the First Ecumenical Council.

St. Sylvester died possibly on December 31 or was buried on that day of the year 335. At first buried in the church of St. Priscilla, his relics now rest in the church of English Catholics in Rome.

Help bring Our Lady’s message back to Canada

Every day, more Canadians are drifting away from faith, peace, and truth. Families are struggling. Communities are losing their spiritual foundation.

But there is hope.

Through devotion to Our Lady and the power of the rosary, hearts can be renewed, families restored, and our nation brought back to God. Canada Needs Our Lady's mission is to answer that call.

Many Canadians have lost connection to their spiritual heritage. In a time of confusion and isolation, Our Lady remains a beacon of hope—calling us back to prayer, faith, and truth.

Through public rosary rallies, national campaigns, and the distribution of blessed devotional items, we are working to bring that message to every corner of Canada.

And with the support of generous donors, this mission is already making a measurable impact across Canada.

  • Over 1,200,000 homes reached through mail campaigns
  • More than 7,000 public square rosary rallies held since 2013
  • 10,000+ rosaries, scapulars, and medals distributed annually
  • More than 1,000 Fatima home visits
  • Thousands of supporters engaged nationwide in prayer and reparation
  • National reach — including rural and remote areas where spiritual outreach is rare

$25
