Here follows the message by NASPA National Association of Shrine and Pilgrimage Apostolate (USA) for the WORLD ROSARY DAY 2024
I am pleased and honored to answer the invitation of our Holy Father, Pope Francis, to take part in World Rosary Day 2024 along with so many other participants around the world in preparation for the Great Jubilee Year 2025.
Here at The National Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel,
we strive to provide and preserve a space that honors Mary and the Carmelite saints for all to come to know.
Our Blessed Mother’s mantle covers all who visit us with a beautiful sense of peace and we are surrounded with her maternal presence!
The Rosary is offered each day here at our Shrine and prayed regularly with
pilgrim groups who visit us.
As the President of NASPA, I have reached out to our member Shrines to join us in this global
endeavor. Here at our Marian Shrine in Middletown, NY we will be praying on October 7th in
unison with our fellow brothers and sisters and will be sharing the International Rosary spoken
in several languages including Italian, Spanish, French, Tagalog and German.
May our prayers reach the four corners of the earth and join into this beautiful symphony of
peace!
Carol Bezak, President, NASPA (National Association of Shrine
and Pilgrimage Apostolate)
Administrator, National Shrine of Our Lady of Mount Carmel
