Rosaries, medals, statues and other religious gifts, all blessed by a good loving priest and, of course, by Jesus and Mary, are available at our service area, which is operated by Peter Frank, lay Order of St. Michael.
Long-time devotee and New Jersey organizer, Haruno Lawson, distributing the roses that adorn the Shrine to the pilgrims. These roses are blessed by Jesus and Our Lady during the Rosary Vigil and have the power of cure and conversion.
Votive candles are passed out to the pilgrims and Shrine Guards for the closing of the Rosary Vigil when all raise them and repeat:

Mary, light of the World, pray for us
Our Lady of the Roses, pray for us
Mary, Help of Mothers, pray for us.

Do you need a candle?
