Sisterly love Arianna Riendeau, 16, of N. Brookfield, Mass. and little Annalise. |
Soul-stirring commentary Fr. Bokosi inspiring the faithful with his insight on the Most Precious Blood of Jesus. Father generously quoted from the Message of Heaven. Amazingly, a supernatural stream of light emanates from Our Lady of the Roses statue through the good priest as he delivers his words. |
Your Thank You
to Our Lady of the Roses

A young man from Florida has generously stepped up now to cover the $8000 deficit from the fundraising goal of $45,000 (as reported) for the 55th Anniversary Celebration Weekend.
He asked that his $8000 gift be matched so that the return will be doubled for SMWA/Our Lady of the Roses Shrine. We have until August 3rd, the 30th Anniversary of Veronica of the Cross, to raise the $8000. If we succeed, and we always do because of your kindness and generosity, we receive the 8k from the young Floridian.
Give your (tax-deductible) donation today!: My gift Doubled for 55th Anniversary
or call 888-830-SMWA (7692)
or mail your gift to SMWA (see address below)
This would be from you another thank you for graces and blessings received from Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers.
