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

 

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 placed at the feet of Our Lady at the next Rosary Vigil.

 

Look for the St Michael's World Apostolate banner when you come.

 

A crowd of about 175 pilgrims praying the Rosary.  The temperature was in the mid 40s.

 
Jesus and Our Lady promised to be present at the sacred grounds as long as one person comes here to pray.
 

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."

 

Pilgrims bring roses to adorn the Shrine.  Our Lady's 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.  The beaded lines represent the graces through the Rosary.

 

Fr. FitzSimmons bestows his priestly blessing on the pilgrims.

 

At the end of the Vigil the 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.
