Testimonies

Oh my... what a beauty!

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!!

FUN FACT: the pricing of the Official Confraternity Rosary is a combination of the two digits of the two prodigies at the Cape, namely, the 1879 miracle of the ice bridge and the 1888 miracle of the eyes and dedication of the shrine to Our Lady of the Rosary.

NOTE: For the initial 3 beads not associated with the Chaplet of St. Joseph, you may consider praying the Three Hail Marys devotion or simply recite three Hail Marys.

The Feasts of St. Joseph:

The primary feast of St. Joseph is March 19 because it is believed that his death occurred on that date.
This feast was fixed in the 15th century and was extended to the whole Church by Pope Gregory XV in 1621.

On the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, 1870, Pope Pius IX ordered that St. Joseph's feast day was to be a double of the first class.
Holy Mother Church dedicates the entire month of March to St. Joseph, as well as the First Wednesdays.

May 1 was established as the Feast of St. Joseph the Workman by Pope Pius XII in 1955, chosen to coincide with Labor days in many nations.
In addition there were two other feasts no longer on the official calendar.

 
The Eight Promises of St. Joseph

1. God will grant special graces to those that do not know me, to have a great devotion to me.
2. God will bless all who are married and the blessing in their family
will be without limit.
3. Those married and without children will be blessed with offspring.
4. God will give special graces to be delivered from temptations
and the attacks of the devil.
5. They shall have a good and happy death.
6. They shall overcome their trials and tribulations.
7. God shall grant them immediate help
when they invoke my intercession,
for the demons have extreme
dread of the invocation of my name.
8. For all those who embrace a St. Joseph cenacle, they shall obtain a more fervent love for Jesus and a
true devotion to Most Holy Mary.

St. Francis de Sales made St. Joseph the special Patron of the religious order he founded, the Order of the Visitation. In addition to naming at least one of his parishes in his honor, he set Joseph as the model of the interior life and contemplative prayer for his own spiritual daughters–and in particular for the novices, who were to look upon St. Joseph as their novice “master” and guide (A Manual of Practical Devotion to the Glorious Patriarch St. Joseph, translated by Fr. Patrignani, p. 78).
