Leading the faithful
To Jesus, Through Mary
Our Mission
Our Lady of the Rosary Shrine exists to hasten the triumph of Mary’s Immaculate Heart proclaimed at Fatima. We seek to accomplish this heavenly purpose by cultivating true devotion in the Catholic faithful. We desire to make Jesus Christ better known and loved, and we seek His Heart through the Heart of His Mother. We treasure the Rosary as a cord of love that binds us to Our Lady and allows her to act in and through us. Safe within the haven of her Immaculate Heart, we desire to draw the lost into the fullness of God’s love for them by our prayer and living of the Gospel. Our humble Shrine is an oasis of peace in the Diocese of St. Catharines: a place where the faithful can unite in their love for Jesus and Mary, for the salvation of the world. We place our trust in Divine Mercy, knowing that Christ alone is the Saviour who brings peace to storm-tossed humanity: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).

The Fruit of the Second Sorrowful Mystery: Purity
The scourging of Jesus at the pillar is a heartrending scene. The most innocent Lamb of God delivers His body over to one of the cruelest and most barbaric of punishments – a Roman scourging – to show us the depth of His love for us in our human weakness. Ever since the Fall of…
The Fruit of the First Sorrowful Mystery: Sorrow for Our Sins
Soon after solid spiritual reading became a part of my daily life, I was struck by the emphasis the saints place upon the Passion of Jesus. The saints are unanimous in telling us to meditate on the Passion, if holiness is the desire of our hearts. In view of their wisdom, I was surprised that…
Our Lady of the Rosary Shrine Prayer
Most gracious Queen and Mother, we come before you asking for the grace of listening and loving hearts.

Help us dear Mother Mary, not only to listen but to be of service in the way you choose to inspire us. Amen.
