2002 Annual May Crowning Sunday, May 12, 2002 St Michael’s World Apostolate held the Annual May Crowning at Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers Shrine on Mother's Day during the Holy Hour for priests. Over 300 people attended. Although the threatening skies were ready to open up anytime, amazingly, the rain was held back until 15 minutes after the close of the Holy Hour! We think Veronica of the Cross and Michael's late mother, Ruth Marie, grandmother of Mary Rose (see below), had something to do with that. It was truly a memorable and uplifting occasion. |

The Virgin Mary appears in America This beautiful story of grace, peace and redemption opened publicly on June 18, 1970 when the Mother of God visited Veronica Lueken on the grounds of the old St. Robert Bellarmine Church in Bayside, New York and later at the Vatican Pavilion site (blessed by Pope Paul VI) in Flushing Meadows Park, New York. Beginning in 1968, St. Theresa the Little Flower prepared Veronica for these Heavenly apparitions. For 25 years, the Virgin Mary and Her Divine Son would appear to this mother of five children during Rosary Vigils until her passing in 1995. At the request of Our Lady, a Sunday Holy Hour for the Pope and priests was also established. Over 300 comprehensive messages packed with guidance and wisdom for these latter days were transmitted through this seer named by Heaven, Veronica of the Cross. The lay Order of St. Michael, a vibrant community of dedicated, celibate men have been appointed by Heaven to lead this global mission. Our Lady has prophesied that from this lay order will emerge the full-fledged religious Order of St. Michael, an order founded on tradition, which will also include women. Our Lady has also stated that curative waters will erupt and a magnificent basilica will be erected at the original site of St. Robert’s. The Vigils and Holy Hours continue to this day at the Vatican Pavilion inspired by Our Lord’s promise: “We have made Our home upon these grounds.” Cures and conversions abound and for countless pilgrims, faith and hope have been restored. We invite you to join us. For a free rose petal blessed by Jesus and Mary for cure and conversion, a Vigil/Holy Hour calendar, and a religious gifts brochure, contact: St
