Anniversary Days of May 28th, 29th, 30th
We were
blest with above seasonal temperatures with a
cooling breeze for
Anniversary Days. Thank the Lord for this
perfect weather in which to honor His Most Blessed
Mother!
Joining us for the noon Processions and
Prayer Vigils were visitors from different parts of
Wisconsin and our surrounding states, plus a few
from Canada and Poland. It was inspiring to see the
love and dedication that they have for Our Holy
Mother.
On May 28th
the Blessed Mother was crowned by one of our First
Communicants.
With the many problems we are facing in
our country, our church, and throughout the world,
it is important that we all turn to Our Heavenly
Mother for Her help and intercession.
Our Blessed Mother promised Mary Ann Van
Hoof that She, the Mother of God, would be present
on all anniversary days in the future. With this
promise comes the confidence that if we do our part
to be pleasing to Her and Her Divine Son, They will
come to our aid in time of need.
The next Anniversary Day will be August
15th, and October 7th. The last Anniversary Day on
November 12th, our observance will be at 8:45 PM in
the evening. Please join us if you can. It is the
least we can do to show our appreciation for the
help we are seeking.
Shrine
Grounds
With spring weather
arriving early this year, it provided a busy time
around the shrine grounds.
Volunteers
helped with planting flowers, cleaning grottos, and
repairs on the grounds.
Work will
continue throughout the summer with such things as
weeding flower beds and more painting and
maintenance as volunteers come to help.
Pilgrims from far and wide will visit the Shrine
grounds in the coming months, and many will remark
how peaceful and beautiful they find it to be.
Remember that bus tours are always welcome. Call
ahead to make arrangements.
House
of Prayer
The engineers and architects are working to resolve
the building requirements to meet the new building
codes. Soon we will apply for finial approval so we
can continue construction with the House of Prayer.
This project
can only be accomplished only with all of your
prayers.
