I have been a devotee of Our Lady of the Roses, Mary Help of Mothers Shrine since I was about 30 years old. I am a convert from the Lutheran Church. The messages from the Shrine was my guiding influence that led me to Catholicism.
For several years in the mid 1980s and mid 1990s I aired the video program from the Shrine on public access TV.
I say the Rosary every day.
May God continue to bless all of the Bayside workers. I pray for all of you every night.
