Free tickets for the multi-cultural "A World at Prayer is a World at Peace®: The Rosary Bowl," 6-9 p.m., May 19, at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, can now be ordered online, event officials announced.

The website, www.rosarybowl.org, offers essential information on the event, and is now available in Spanish.

The Rosary Bowl will combine music and inspirational talks from 6 to 7:30 p.m. followed by a colorful banner procession of parishes and Catholic organizations and a Eucharistic procession, with Cardinal Roger Mahony carrying the Blessed Sacrament, and the auxiliary bishops and many priests of the archdiocese. After Adoration, the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary will be prayed in 55 languages representing the varied ethnicities that comprise the church of Southern California. Then, Cardinal Mahony will deliver a homily, followed by Benediction.

The Rosary Bowl is being sponsored by Holy Cross Family Ministries of Easton, Mass., and its Hollywood member and media arm, Family Theater Productions, in collaboration with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Holy Cross Family Ministries and The Rosary Bowl further the tradition and mission of the "Rosary priest" and sainthood candidate Servant of God, Holy Cross Father Patrick Peyton, who conducted 40 massive Rosary rallies throughout the world that drew 28 million people, including 500,000 in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, in 1961.

The Rosary Bowl is expected to be the largest communal prayer of the Rosary in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles in 50 years. Many parishes and Catholic groups throughout Southern California are planning to attend via chartered buses, which is what the organizing Core Committee is encouraging.

The Rose Bowl Stadium parking fees are $15 per car and $40 per bus. A list of chartered bus companies and hotels is on The Rosary Bowl website, as are "frequently asked questions and answers" and a video invitation to The Rosary Bowl by Los Angeles Auxiliary Bishop Oscar Solis, Vicar for Ethnic Ministries and archdiocesan director of the event.

Tickets and other information (including discounted bus passes) also can be requested via e-mail, info@rosarybowl.org, or by calling 1-800-874-0999, ext. 22.
