The 49th Anniversary honoring Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers on Saturday, June
15, and
Sunday, June 16, was a resounding success. Over 230
pilgrims attended the Anniversary Vigil
and 125 attended the
Anniversary Banquet
at the LaGuardia Plaza
Hotel, an
upscale venue for the big pilgrimage
weekend. |

Devotees from the four corners of the
world
assembled, including from Africa, Asia,
Europe, Central America, Canada and, of
course, most states of America were represented.
It was impressive and uplifting to see so many of
different color, race and tongue raising their hearts in prayer to the Good
Father, especially through the Holy Rosary, that God's blessing and peace may
rain down upon this fragile and troubled world.
Four priests heard confessions for two hours as scores of pilgrims cleansed their
souls through the Sacrament of Penance. |

At the Anniversary Banquet, the faithful were wowed
with Dr. Joseph Laycock (above, left), the
leading scholar and researcher in the world on the Bayside apparitions, in his
"Smoking Gun" video-taped interview with Michael Mangan.
Truly this glorious event made
Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers
proud of Her friends, whose prayer and sacrifice
in making this pilgrimage will be remembered
unto eternity. |
