On the Feast of the Co-Patroness of The Dominican Order, Saint Mary Magdalene, we are delighted to announce the completion of the restoration works at The Rosary Altar in The Lady Chapel.
The original Angels with Votive Lamps have been restored. They now burn as a sign of our Prayers for The Friends and Benefactors of The Rosary Shrine.
Work on Phase 1 was completed in 2002, as the Altar was restored, re-gilded, and the Painted Angels were remade after they had been whitewashed.
Historic photo, circa 1900, showing how the Angels (highlighted in Yellow at the top) originally appeared.
Now, Phase 2 (the “Lost Angels” project) is complete as the missing statues of Angels and the two Votive Lamps were remade and put back in place.
The two Votive Lamps burn here perpetually: One for the intentions of the “Friends of The Rosary Shrine”, and one for the intentions of the Benefactors of The Rosary Shrine.
The four missing Angels (at the top) are restored.
July 2022.
Holy Mass is now Celebrated every weekday at The Rosary Altar:
Monday and Friday at 1000 hrs;
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, at 1930 hrs.
