The organizers & promoters of the event; Worldpriest stated:

"As the family of the Church, we are all invited to join our prayers to the prayers of millions throughout the world .It is an opportunity for us to raise our hearts to God for all priests in the exercise of their ministry; that they will be blessed, through our prayers, with God's grace for their priesthood; that in this worldwide communion of prayer for them, they may experience our gratitude and support; and finally that they will persevere in unity with Christ and his Church and shepherd the Lord's flock to the safe pastures of his Kingdom."

"Mary is the spiritual mother of priests. In this global rosary relay, we entrust to her motherly care and intercession the spiritual needs of all priests, that they truly be shepherds after the heart of her Son, Jesus Christ."
