The Rosary challenge, which was announced by Young & Catholic Nigeria via it's Instagram page reads, "Good Morning Instagram! In the spirit of the Marian Year 2017 (100 years of the appearance of Mary in Fatima, Portugal) we decided to invite you all to pray the rosary with us daily live on Instagram! Starting today until the end of the Marian year, we will pray the rosary on Instagram Live at 8 am West African Time!! So if you find it difficult praying the rosary or just want to hang out with Mary or you want to pray as a group, join us every day at 8 am! We'll be praying for you and see you live soon!"



It started on June 23rd and will end in October 2017.
