On April 29, 1994, Shrine director, Michael Mangan was speaking on the telephone with Veronica, the two of them conferring with each other as to the exact role the Pope had in the recent Vatican decision on the approval of
altar girls. Mr. Mangan suggest to Veronica, "You'll have to ask the Blessed Mother." Whereupon, Our Lady suddenly spoke in locution to Veronica with the following message:
"They have misquoted his words."
The Virgin Mary appears in America
This beautiful story of grace, peace and redemption opened publicly on June 18, 1970 when the Mother of God visited Veronica Lueken on the grounds of the old St. Robert Bellarmine Church in Bayside, New York and later
at the Vatican Pavilion site (blessed by Pope Paul VI) in Flushing Meadows Park, New York. Beginning in 1968, St. Theresa the Little Flower prepared Veronica for these Heavenly apparitions.
For 25 years, the Virgin Mary and Her Divine Son would appear to this mother of five children during Rosary Vigils on these sacred grounds until her passing in 1995. Our Lady asked that this Shrine be called "Our Lady of the
Roses, Mary Help of Mothers" and that a Sunday Holy Hour offered for the Pope and priests be held.
Over 300 comprehensive messages packed with wisdom and guidance for these latter days were transmitted through this seer named by Heaven, Veronica of the Cross.
Our Lady of the Roses Shrine is under the stewardship of the lay Order of St. Michael (est. 1977), a vibrant community of dedicated, celibate men who have been appointed by Heaven to lead this global mission. Our Lady has
prophesied that this lay Order will bring forth the full-fledged religious Order of St. Michael, an order founded on Catholic tradition.
Our Lady has also stated that curative waters will erupt and a magnificent basilica will be erected at the original site of St. Robert's.
The Vigils and Holy Hours continue to this day at the Vatican Pavilion inspired by Our Lord's promise: "We have made Our home upon these grounds." Cures and conversions abound and for countless pilgrims, faith and hope
have been restored. We invite you to join us.
