Winter Vigils
 

Welcome to Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers Shrine, staffed and directed by St Michael's World Apostolate (SMWA).

 
Dec. 23, 2009 In honor of the
Nativity of Our Lord
 
 

"We've come to the vigils in rain, snow and hail, ice, hot weather, cold weather. And we're still going to do it until Jesus tells us that the mission is accomplished and succeeded, that we have saved our country."

Veronica of the Cross, Sept. 22, 1973

 
 
 

There's nothing like praying in the snow in frigid temperatures.

 
 
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.
