Summary
The 44th Anniversary
honoring Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers on
Saturday, June 21, and Sunday, June 22, was a resounding success. About 500
pilgrims, many first-timers, attended the Vigil and 270 attended the
Anniversary Banquet at the LaGuardia
Marriott.
Devotees from the
four corners of the world assembled, including from Africa, Asia, Europe, Central and South America, Canada
and, of course, the United States
of America.
It was impressive
and uplifting to see so many praying the Holy Rosary for world peace and
cleansing themselves in the Sacrament of Penance.
World-famous Fatima
expert,
Fr. Nicholas Gruner, inspired the multitudes at the Banquet with his vast knowledge of
this critical
apparition, which is even more relevent and urgent now than when it occurred 100
years ago.
What a joy and
tremendous consolation it must have been for Our Blessed Mother to be among
Her own who made such great sacrifices to come in pilgrimage to honor Her under the
glorious title
of Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers.
