​Restoration of Our Lady's Statue



We are excited to announce that our Blessed Mother has returned to her mountaintop home where she shines more brilliantly than ever before!  Unfortunately, we are still short of raising the necessary funds to pay for the costly repairs to her interior structural supports. We hope that through the generosity of donors like you, we can raise the remaining funds!

​
 
We humbly ask you to keep the National Shrine Grotto in mind as you  make your charitable donations.

​
When you give to this fund, you help with the additional unforeseen repair costs of this critical restoration of our Blessed Mother's statue and are a part of this historical effort.

Our Lady of the Rosary


Friday,  October 7


Mass,  11 a.m. in St. Mary's Chapel


Holy Rosary Procession through Grotto Grounds
immediately  following Mass 







​The feast of Our Lady of the Rosary was instituted to honor Mary for the Christian victory over the Turks at Lepanto on October 7, 1571.
​Pope St. Pius V and all Christians had prayed the Rosary for victory.
In modern times successive popes have urged the faithful to pray the Rosary. It is a form of contemplative prayer, mental and vocal prayer, which brings down God’s blessing on the Church. It is a biblically inspired prayer which is centered on meditation on the salvific mysteries of Christ in union with Mary, who was so closely associated with her Son in his redeeming activity.​
hurch celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary on October 7. On this day, we celebrate the Holy League’s defeat of the Ottoman Empire in the Battle of Lepanto on October
