Everyone that prays to "God" understands the power of prayer. Think of the prayer power that this Perpetual Rosary Pilgrimage Program will generate when Christian People from all over the world unite together in prayer to "Mary", and her son, "Jesus Christ" asking His blessings for World Peace, and for the other chosen intentions. The Rosary is the perpetual prayer for this pilgrimage. Our easy to follow home web page will guide you through the links. Most of you already know how to pray the Rosary, but if you do not know how then it will provide you with all of the information to learn how to pray the Rosary and how to make a Rosary Pledge. Pease invite all of your friends to visit this web site!
We
are looking for meaningful endorsements: We welcome your support.
It is our hope that Bishops,
Priests, Christian Ministers, Christian Churches, Christian Fraternal
Organizations like the “Knights of Columbus”, Religious Groups like
the "Blue Army", Our Christian Youth Groups, other Christian Entities, and the
Individual Private Sector will endorse this program and advertise our web site
address to their membership. We would like to set up a “Link” with them which
opens communication to the world. We
think it is important that endorsements are displayed in a prominent
place within the web site.
We welcome your comments by mail, phone, or e-mail.

The rosary is the way to world peace !
The following three successful rosary
programs actually became
the test information that were needed for our Rosary Pilgrimage Web Page..

_ The first rosary project that we gathered our test information from took place in the city and surrounding area of Lansing, Michigan. We passed out “Rosary Pledge Mail Back Forms" to approximately twelve Catholic Church’s that participated. This Rosary Pilgrimage Program was only for five days beginning on December 8th, the Feast Day of the Immaculate Conception and continued the 9th, 10th, 11th, & 12th of 1999. Pledges were received by mail during the entire month of January 2000. We gathered over 20,000 rosary pledges for the intentions that we had listed.2
_ With this experience behind us, we chose to put together a larger Rosary Pilgrimage Program, one that would cover more area. Though we didn't know it at the time, this second rosary program would also serve as another test for our small group. The rosary pilgrimage took place within the Lansing Diocese of Michigan from March 1 to 21, 2002. During this 21day period we were privileged to have the world famous sacramental, “The International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady Of Fatima”. We took it to several locations in the Lansing Diocese of Michigan. Carl Malburg, the custodian of the statue, others and myself visited 22 different parish locations, four high schools and five elementary schools. We were very busy, and during this 21 day period, we gathered 109,000 rosary pledges for the intentions we had listed. What an experience, there were many signal grace testimonials as well as many other blessings.3
_ We now had some real experience on how to put a successful Rosary Pilgrimage Program together. I decided to try it again, but this time we wanted to gather rosary pledges from the people throughout the entire State of Michigan. I asked and received the help of the Michigan State Council Knights of Columbus of which I’m a member. The State Deputy Kevin D. MacFarland, Sr. asked me as a State Director, to be the State Chairman for this Rosary Program Project. This was a major undertaking & it took months to put it together. The time period for us to gather the rosary pledges would be “between” April 1st to May 27th, 2005. This would be 57 wonderful days. It gave us a few days to promote our rosary program in six of the seven Catholic Dioceses in Michigan. We invited Carl Malburg to bring the Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima back to Michigan for this rosary pilgrimage. The Rosary Pilgrimage started in the Kalamazoo Diocese and we visited nine different parishes. Then we moved into the Lansing Diocese and we visited eleven parishes, one high school and several elementary schools. Next, we moved into the Archdiocese of Detroit and we visited fourteen parishes and several elementary schools. We were supposed to move into the Saginaw Diocese but they elected to not participate. So we went to the Grand Rapids Diocese and we visited seven parishes and two elementary schools. We then moved to the Gaylord Diocese and we visited nineteen parishes, two high schools and several elementary schools. Our last location was the huge Marquette Diocese and we visited nine parishes and three elementary schools. What a success story. I can’t begin to tell you how overwhelming those 57 days were. When it was over we had gathered 782,043 rosary pledges.There were many signal graces and blessing galore, and testimonials from everywhere. We were at the Holy Name of Mary Parish Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan when a grandmother from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., Canada came to visit the Pilgrim Virgin Statue. She was very nervous, and my wife asked her if there was a problem. She told my wife and I that her grandson was diagnosed with cancer and that the doctors were going to start him on radiation treatments. This was to take place in Canada about the same time that she was with us. I told her to go in and sit with the Pilgrim Virgin Statue and pray to Our Lady for a miracle. About two weeks later I received a detailed letter telling us that when the doctors examined her grandson, he was told that there was no cancer, and there was only scar tissue. He was heeled and he did not need further treatment. She stated that she knew in her heart that Mary the Mother of Jesus had healed him while she was praying to "Mary" in front of the Pilgrim Virgin Statue.
What a Story!
Help us to build this Rosary Pilgrimage Web Site. We want to make it a "humble, holy, and pleasing" web site to Mary, the Mother of Jesus, Our Lord and Our God! Think of the blessings that all participants will receive by their prayers and sacrifices. Believe and Trust in Mary, and her son, "Jesus" !
