On Tuesday, June 9, 2015, Pat was invited to pray the Rosary and attend Mass with the 'Rosary Makers' Rose Givvin, Bea Johnson and Eileen Guay.
Following Mass, Fr. Walt Dworak, pastor of St. Philip Church in Crafton, PA blessed the 450 World Mission Rosaries that JTDMF purchased for the ladies to assemble for distribution at upcoming school/parish presentations by JTDMF.
We are grateful for the devoted work of these lovely ladies.
On Thursday, May 21, 2015, Pat, Sister Jean, and Celeste once again visited the Junior Legion of Mary "Our Lady of Fatima" and "Our Lady of Light" Praesidium at St. Gabriel School, Whitehall, Pennsylvania. Teachers, Joanne Boyle and Linda Neivens, invited JTDMF to return to explain the newly rendered statue of Mary, Ark of The New Covenant and the sacred icon oil painting by James Sulkowski, and given the "three-fold title" by Rev. Seraphim Michalenko, MIC, "Virgin Mary of Nazareth, Ark of The New Covenant, Throne of The Divine Mercy Incarnate" to their 3rd and 7th graders.
During the presentation, the students prayed the prayer to Mary, Ark of The New Covenant composed by founder, Bernadette Conkin. They learned about the Providential correlation between the Ark in the Old and New Testaments. Pat shared the information on the upcoming Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy, beginning on December 8, the Feast Day of The Immaculate Conception and ending on November 20, 2016 on the Feast Day of Christ The King. The students were in awe as they learned that God gave each person a special sign of the presence of our Blessed Mother with us by the "M" placed in the palm of everyone’s hand!
Several young boys assisted with placing Mary upon the Ark of the Covenant.
The group then proceeded to the gym to process, unfold, and pray the "World Mission Rosary" on the 225 ft. Rosary to honor Our Blessed Mother and Jesus under the title, "Mary, Ark of The New Covenant."
On April 9, 2015, Pat and Sister Jean visited the Jr. Legion of Mary "Our Lady of Fatima" Praesidium at St. Gabriel, Whitehall, PA. A presentation was made to the 3rd thru 7th graders explaining the important message of The Divine Mercy and the World Mission Rosary. The students learned to pray and sing The Divine Mercy Chaplet using reverent motions. The group extended the 225 ft. World Mission Rosary while praying the rosary to honor Our Blessed Mother and Jesus under the title; Mary, Ark of the New Covenant.
Informational packets relating to the theme were shared with the group.
Sts. John and Paul Parish, Wexford, Pennsylvania:
Pat began with Divine Mercy presentation. Sr. Natalie worked with one of the Divine Mercy worksheets and Sister Jean had them learn an activity using the Alleluia and other hand motions. Praying on the 225 ft. rosary.
December 8, 2014, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, marked the day to assemble our 1st (of many) 225 ft. World Mission Rosaries. Sister Jean carries the materials for the World Mission Rosary into MCRS. Walt, Principal Don, and Sister Jean gather for a photo Pat and Sister Jean explain the history of Archbishop Fulton Sheen beginning the World Mission Rosary in 1951 through the Pontifical Mission Society. They discussed with the students the various continents and the colors they represent on the map and also the rosary. When we finish praying the rosary, we realize we gave the world a big hug! They asked Fulton Sheen's intercession on this program. We encountered some difficulty while assembling the beads with the wire ties and went to Plan B. The adults assembled the beads as Sister Jean led the 6-8 grade students in praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary. After the assembling was completed, the students formed the circular rosary around the cafeteria and then recoiled the rosary for the next practice.
