Dear sisters and brothers,
Greetings of love in the name of the Lord and Mother Mary.
With hearts full of gratitude to God, we extend our deepest thanks to our Blessed Mother for the successful celebration of Shrine Days 2026 at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary in Merlin. It was a beautiful time of faith, prayer, and fellowship, and we were deeply moved to see so many pilgrims come together in devotion.
Through this writing, we are so happy to share our joy and happiness after we have had a very successful and prayerful Shrine Days for this year. We the Rosarians wanted to take a moment to personally thank you for attending the Shrine Days 2026 at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary in the Diocese of London. Your presence and prayerful participation truly made this a grace-filled celebration, and we are profoundly grateful for your continuous support. Thank you for helping make our Shrine Day a beautiful and blessed success!
After having the successful Shrine Days, it is indeed our pleasure to remember each one who contributed and dedicated for having grace filled and beautiful liturgical servicers amidst so many challenges. We would like to thank in general for all who support us spiritually and morally even by your mere presence. Especially, we are so grateful to our dear volunteers; you were the backbone of this event. We are incredibly grateful for your selfless service, which ensured our liturgical services were orderly, meaningful, and beautiful.
We extend a special thank you to our new Bishop, Daniel Miehm, for making his very first visit to our Shrine and rendering the day remarkable. We also express our sincere gratitude to the diocesan priests and deacons who coordinated each day, inspiring us with their reflections and nourishing us through the Holy Eucharist.
The Our Lady of the Rosary Shrine remains open to the public year-round for the public and for the personal prayers. We invite you to keep visiting the Shrine of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary in Merlin and humbly ask for your continued financial support to help our sacred place grow. Please know that we, the Rosarians, lift your intentions before the Blessed Sacrament every single day. May God bless you as you enjoy the remaining days of the fall season ahead. May God bless you.
Rosarians
