Dear Beloved Community,

Exciting news! Mother Mary's divine presence touched the hearts of everyone on Assumption day. Following the closure and sale of Our Lady of Gratitude Marian Shrine last year, we are thrilled to welcome you back to join us in prayer with the full permission of Samuel Babarinde.

For nearly two decades, we have stood together in prayer and support, and we are immensely grateful for the freedom to continue our cherished traditions.

We find great joy in reuniting with each one of you as we navigate these turbulent times under the loving guidance of Our Lady of Gratitude!

Here are the upcoming events at 3100 Weston Road, Toronto at 8 p.m.:

- September 7, 2024: First Saturday Devotions
- September 15, 2024: Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows
- October 5, 2024: First Saturday Devotions
- October 13, 2024: Commemoration of Our Lady of Fatima's last apparition in Fatima, Portugal. Join us at our annual Canada Rosary Coast to Coast event, where all provinces will unite in prayer for our country and the entire world. To join us on Zoom, please visit www.rosarycoasttocoast.ca  ( Zoom ID and password will be available closer to the date).  If you wish to organize an event in your church or province, please visit www.rosarycoasttocoast.ca

We extend a heartfelt invitation to all of you to join us as we stand together in faith and love for the Lord. Let your light shine! The candles we hold and offer to God in our candlelight processions symbolize our prayers rising into the skies like fragrant incense at the hallowed grounds of 3100 Weston Road, Toronto.
