Rosary Vigil
7:30 p.m. - 10:30 p.m.

Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers
Welcome to Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers Shrine staffed and directed by St Michael's World Apostolate.
Send us your petition and it will be in our petition box for the next Rosary Vigil.
Shrine guard, John May, leads the Rosary
Michael Mangan, president of SMWA, leads a litany
A crowd of about 125 pilgrims praying the Rosary. It was a chilly evening with the temperature in the low 40s.
Rosaries, medals and other sacramentals are available at our gift area.
Joseph displays his miraculous photo. This is his first visit to the Shrine.
At 9 p.m. the invocation of the blessing of Jesus and Mary: "All who are able to kneel, please kneel, and with faith lift your Rosary up to Heaven and Jesus and Mary will bless us."
Jesus and Our Lady promised to be present at the sacred grounds as long as one person comes here to pray.
Pilgrims bring roses to adorn the Shrine.  Phyllis Carbone and other Shrine helpers distribute them to everyone later in the evening. These roses are blessed by Jesus and Our Lady during the Rosary Vigil and have the power of cure and conversion.
With a vigil candle raised, pilgrims repeat the invocation:
Mary, light of the World, pray for us
Our Lady of the Roses, pray for us
Mary, Help of Mothers, pray for us.
