Welcome to Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers Shrine, staffed and directed by St Michael's World Apostolate.

OFFERING OF THE HOLY HOUR FOR PRIESTS

          O my God, poor, weak and miserable as I am, I have come to spend this hour alone with You, in reparation for the priests who have forgotten that they are Your chosen souls. Especially, dear God, do I offer this holy hour for the priests who at this moment need it most. In praying for consecrated souls, help me to remember my own utter weakness, misery and nothingness. Were it not for Your grace I would be far worse than those for whom I pray.

          O my god, help those priests who are faithful to remain faithful. To those who are falling, stretch forth Your divine hand that they may grasp it as their support. And for those poor unfortunate souls who have fallen, lift them up in the great ocean of Your mercy, that being engulfed therein, they may receive the grace to return to Your great loving heart. Amen.

James Donohue leading the first Rosary. A 15 decade Rosary, litanies and traditional hymns are prayed and sung during each Holy Hour.
Jesus and Our Lady have promised to be present at the sacred grounds as long as one person comes here to pray (even outside the scheduled times of the Rosary Vigils and Holy Hours).
The faithful praying for peace.  Please make every effort to join us in person on Sunday mornings. Short of that, unite with us in the spirit of prayer.

At the end of the Holy Hour, pilgrims line up to venerate the Rosary kissed by Our Lady.

 

After the pilgrims finish venerating the Rosary, the statue is moved to an open area on the sacred grounds. Final prayers close the Holy Hour.
