Pilgrims and reservations

Notices for pilgrims

Dear pilgrims from Sri Lanka, you are most welcome at the Diocesan Shrine of Rosa Mistica – Mother of the Church! We ask you to pay attention to the guidelines regarding worship at our Shrine, particularly concerning silence, access to the pool, and the offering of flowers. We also remind those among you who are Buddhist (and therefore not baptized in the Christian faith) that while you are welcome to pray and offer devotion to Mary, it is NOT PERMITTED TO APPROACH THE SACRAMENT OF THE EUCHARIST or RECEIVE THE CONSECRATED HOST. We ask for your cooperation in observing these guidelines out of respect for this sacred place and the holiness of the Sacrament of the Eucharist. The Rector of the Shrine

In the afternoon, visiting pilgrimages—even those accompanied by a spiritual guide and a priest—may participate in the Shrine’s scheduled liturgies, and priests may concelebrate; other services, such as processions, rosaries, or vigils, must always be arranged in advance with the administrative office at the time of booking. Any exceptions must be cleared exclusively with the Rector of the Shrine.
