The super Shrine needs your help today |
|
|
|

It's the crazy, crazy world out there that
really magnifies the value and importance of Our Lady's Mission at Bayside.
For example, when you reflect on the things that make a difference in
your daily life in these end-days, Our Lady of the Roses Shrine and its constant
powerful, appeasing prayer to Almighty God is likely to be at the top of your
list.
The comfort and joy that floods your soul knowing that every Sunday
Holy Hour for Pope and clergy and
on every major feast day of the Church (over 84 times a year), this refuge of
grace, this beacon of light in the darkness is offering public-reparative prayer
from the Home of Jesus and Mary (June 18, 1991) that is countering the
unprecedented evil of our time: "Your world is now in a state far worse than
when the Father destroyed it during the time of Noah and Sodom!"
St. Joseph,

The appointed guardians of the
Shrine, only four men, are giving everything that they have for you and the Cause. Every
Sunday and 30 plus Rosary Vigils a year--no matter the weather, often harsh--they
are directing the Shrine: doing the set up and breakdown (with the indispensable
help of other kind devotees) and leading the prayer and song. |

$10,000 year-end Christmas Matching Gift |
|
|
|
Two good friends of
the Shrine are
generously offering a $10,000 matching gift so your donation will be doubled
through December 31 to help ensure we keep the love and prayers Heavenward in
2022.
Your year-end (100% tax-deductible) gift of $25 will be matched to $50,
and $100 will become $200 and $500 becomes a $1,000. And so on.
But you know how it works by now: we don't see a penny unless we raise
$10,000 from you and all the faithful.
And only 9 days to do it! The deadline is December 31.
That's why it's also called a challenge grant! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tis the Season of Giving |
|
|
|
Your kindness and generosity can make this
happen, though. And we are confident that you will deliver in this Season of Giving for these must-have prayer services
that truly give Our Lady comfort and joy, too.
Do your 2021 tax return a favor and give today:

Great consolation and
peace
for mothers |

By the way, here's a spectacular
Christmas gift to parents from Our Lady of the Roses: "Cry not, mother. The
Eternal Father is most pitiful upon you. He has opened His heart to many of your
children, not judging them by false leaders." Nov. 25, 1978
Be assured of our prayers and remembrances for you and yours on the
holy grounds throughout this joyous Christmas season.

29 and ending on the glorious feast of the Epiphany, for all the
friends and
benefactors of SMWA. |
