“When I put Dennis and Angelina’s DVD on during our family prayer time, everyone was immediately engaged and drawn into prayer, even our young children. It’s amazing!”
–Scott Russell, Former Director of Saint Joseph Communications
“Praying the Chaplet with beautiful images, words from the diary, and music is the most perfect way to fully engage the mind, heart, and body in the important prayer.”

Looking at icons, and in general at the great masterpieces of Christian art, leads us on an interior way, a way of transcendence, and thus brings us, in this purification of sight that is a purification of the heart, face to face with beauty, or at least, with a ray of it. In this way it brings us into contact with the power of the truth. I have often said that I am convinced that the true apologetics for the Christian message, the most persuasive proof of its truth, offsetting everything that may appear negative, are the saints, on the one hand, and the beauty that the faith has generated, on the other.
—Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger fromOn the Way to Jesus Christ

Here is my testimony: Gwen
My mum's (Sheila Faustin) health started declining in March of this year. She had a stroke on June 3, 2021 and was taken to Hospital. She was released from the hospital on July 22, 2021. She returned to the hospital on July 23, 2021 due to a wound on her foot which became septic. My mother started to improve and the doctor gave the permission to release her on Wednesday August 4. During the morning of August 4, my mum suffered several major seizures and was not released from the hospital. My sister and I would visit her, pray the rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet and other devotional prayers.
The travelling pilgrim statue of Our Lady of the Cape visited St. Aidan's Catholic Church on the weekend of August 7/8, 2021. On Saturday evening during my visit to the Blessed Mother I placed a petition in the box, asking Mama Mary to take my mum on her Feast Day - The Assumption of Our Blessed Mother, August 15, 2021. My friend Naomi, asked if I would like to have Our Lady of the Cape Statue (The travelling pilgrim statue) visit my home for one day and night. I said yes! Our Lady came to my home on Wednesday August 9. I invited my sister and a few friends for prayers. During our prayer session, I cried out to Mama Mary and said "Mama I know your Son has the appointed day and time for each one of us to be called to our heavenly home. I am asking you to intercede on my behalf and take my mum home to your Son on the Feast of the Assumption August 15, 2021 your Feast Day. I returned the travelling statue on Thursday August 10. I visited my mum in the evening on Saturday August 14, 2021; before leaving her bedside, I bent down close to her left ear and whispered to her that "mama Mary will come & take her to Jesus in the morning; it's ok to go with mama Mary, we will be fine and dad will be ok, we will take care of him". My mum died peacefully on Sunday August 15, 2021 at 3:00am. Praise God! Thank you Mama Mary for your powerful intercession. We felt at peace when we received the news from the hospital. May The Blessed Mother continue to cover and protect you with her Holy Mantle. God bless, Gwen
Excerpt from
SAINT CATHERINE LABOURE OF THE MIRACULOUS MEDAL by Fr. Joseph Dirvin.
Zoe was alone in the bedroom; she had looked carefully about to make sure of that. She had a duty to perform, and like all the solemn and decisive acts of life, it had to be done alone. Of course even Zoe did not realize that what she was about to do far transcended her personal life. It was vital to countless millions yet unborn; and so she might have spared herself her pains, for all the world was to see her. The Blessed Virgin arranged for the servant to happen quietly on the scene and to observe it all.
Zoe pulled a chair over beneath the shelf, for it was too high for her to reach, even if she stood on tiptoe. Climbing up on the chair, she stretched overhead and took down Our Lady's image. She was too much engrossed in the ecstasy of her devotion to notice anything now. She did not even get down from the chair; it would serve well enough for the altar of her choosing and dedication. Throwing her arms about the statue, she hugged it close to her little body, as a child might fondle her favorite doll or teddy bear.
But this was no doll. In a sense, it was no longer just a statue of Our Lady. It was Mary herself. Zoe's words showed that very clearly.
"Now, dear Blessed Mother," she said aloud with childlike fervor, "now you will be my Mother!"
Probably the incident of the statue was almost entirely for the benefit of mankind, a way of serving public notice that the Marian Age had begun.

One day, through the Rosary and the Scapular, I will save the world. The Blessed Virgin Mary to St. Dominic
The Official Confraternity Rosary for the Marian Devotional Movement is custom designed and made by Ghirelli in Italy.
Click HERE for HD Confraternity Rosary image. Zoom in to view exquisite detail.
I have seen a lot of beautiful Sacramentals at the many Catholic Shrines I have been blessed to visit, but nothing can even come close to the Italian Ghirelli craftsmanship, beauty and quality of materials of this Confraternity Locket Rosary.
The uniqueness of the locket, Our Lady of Intercessors logo, the Crucifix, the precision carving on the Our Father beads, Our Lady of the Cape figure and the smooth tender touch of the mother of pearl Hail Mary beads are outstanding. It feels like the love of Our Blessed Mother comes through each bead. As well the enclosed Relic card with a piece of the blue blessed cloth which touched Our Lady of the Cape original Statue and many holy relics along with the blessed rose piece and the St. Michael cave stone is a one of a kind Sacramental. A Rosary like no other. I am so blessed to have received one. - Linda Robillard
The new rosary is soooo beautiful!! Oh my! To hold it for real and pray on those most beautiful beads. What an amazing work of art so fitting for Our Lady of the Cape !!! So exquisite just like Our Lady ! - Michele

P: Our help is in the name of the Lord. All: Who made heaven and earth.
P: The Lord be with you. All: May He also be with you.
Let us pray. Almighty and merciful God, who, out of exceeding love for us, willed that your only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, come down from heaven to earth, take flesh at the angel's message in the sacred womb of Our Lady, the blessed Virgin Mary, submit to death on the cross, and rise gloriously from the dead on the third day, in order to snatch us from Satan's tyranny; we humbly beg you in your boundless goodness to bless and to hallow these rosaries, which your faithful Church has consecrated to the honor and praise of the Mother of your Son. Let them be endowed with such power of the Holy Spirit, that whoever carries one on his person or reverently keeps one in his home, or devoutly prays to you, while meditating on the divine mysteries, according to the rules of this holy society, may fully participate in all the graces, privileges, and indulgences which the Holy See has granted to this society. And may he always and everywhere in this life be shielded from all enemies, visible and invisible, and at his death deserve to be presented to you by the blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, laden with the merits of good works; through Christ our Lord.
All: Amen.
The rosaries are sprinkled with holy water.

I did put my YES in the chat box this afternoon for 2 of those precious blankets🦋and just ordered them on your website
It’s wonderful to create holy heirlooms that we can bless people with and one day hand them down to our families and friends.
Years ago I had a few things made with beautiful prayers on them and the recipients cherished them and eventually handed them down to loved ones
It will be part of your MDM Legacy my dear friendand I think it is a fabulous idea!!!
Lynellen
I would like to express my joy and delight in receiving and opening the beautiful package that you gave me in the parking lot at St. Mary’s. When Dennis first handed it over to me I was touched by the beauty of the colours and fabric used to package the order. The gorgeous blankets were folded in such a way to highlight through the package the beautiful profile of Our Lady of the Cape. When I first glanced at that profile it took my breath away.
Lynellen
It was to my delight that during my morning Rosary and Divine mercy chaplet group...one of our members displayed the new Mother Mary blanket.
During discussing the beautiful blanket we discussed the MDM group..the movie...the pilgrimage.
Our Mother Mary is definitely working through us and the beautiful blanket.
God bless
Mother Mary leads us all to her son Jesus Christ.
