Lay Apostolate
Queen of The Holy Rosary Shrine
We have built and pray to continue building to completion a living Rosary Path and Mary’s Way of The Cross. The Path fills pilgrim souls with spiritual and material riches abundantly flowing from reverent and leisurely meditation upon the prayers of the Rosary and Way of The Cross, amidst the peace and the natural beauty of God’s creation​.
Please Join us for an evening Rosary and Mary’s Way of The Cross every Friday at 7:30 PM at Marylake on the
corner of Keele Street and the 15th Side Road. Due to the closure of the Rosary Path, we meet in front of
the large, white Statue of Mary, our Blessed Mother. Everyone is welcome. Deacon Don and Lou Conte will lead the
prayers. Pilgrims are encouraged to participate. Dress appropriately as we pray, regardless of the weather,
come rain, snow or shine.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE: SHRINE & GROUNDS CLOSURE
We are very saddened to report that, due to the construction work occurring at Marylake and the renovation of the
Shrine, the Shrine and grounds will be closed to the public for about 1 year for safety concerns starting Saturday
February 10, 2024 at 7:00pm; We have no control in this matter. This includes Picnics, BBQs, Events,
the Rosary Path and the Gift Shop.
All Masses and other devotional activities will now be held in the Retreat House Chapel, still on the Marylake
property. There is a new entrance off the west side of Keele Street about 1KM north of the 15th side Road
(north of the Gate House and large statue of Mary).
​
All of Marylake’s schedules remain the same, except for an additional day of confessions on Saturdays
from 9:45am - 10:45am.
Retreat House Chapel hours:
Monday - Friday: 8:30am - 3:00pm.
Thursday: 8:30am - 3:00pm and 6:00pm - 8:00pm.
