In response to the tragedies of September 11, 2001, the U.S. bishops designated January 1, 2002, as a National Day of Prayer for Peace and invited all Catholics to pray the rosary to seek the intercession of Mary, Queen of Peace. The bishops' Committee on the Liturgy developed and USCCB Publishing has produced resources to support the participation in this day.
