Rosary Procession

Saturday  June 27, 2015
Our Lady of the Roses,
Mary Help of Mothers Shrine
7 - 7:30 p.m.

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

SMWA President, Michael Mangan, LOSM (l.),  shares a few laughs with Frs. Terry Brennan (c.) and Justin McCreedy of University Place, Wash. before the procession.

Hundreds in unison offering their love and prayers to the Father in the heavy rain. About 2 inches of rain or "holy water" fell upon the pilgrims during the procession and vigil.

Fr. Ignatio Bokosi of Malawi, Africa

"My child, what has happened to the processions in honor of your God and the memory of the suffering of My Son? We do not see any down upon earth. Can this not be restored for the glory of Heaven?"

Corinna Swetz of Lakewood, Calif.

The pilgrims process around the sacred grounds three times during the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary.
