Two Rosary Rallies in Wilmington!

As the Church honors Our Lady in the month of October, Wilmington Catholics will host two Rosary rallies the weekend of October 10^th and 11^th to honor Our Lady and pray her Rosary in the public square. You may attend both or either of these rallies. All are welcome. 

The first rally is in honor of Our Lady of Fatima under the banner of America Needs Fatima. It will be held in front of the old K-Mart on College Road on Saturday, October 10^th beginning at 12 noon. This rally honors the anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun which took place in Fatima, Portugal, on October 13, 1917 at noon. We will pray the Rosary and other prayers in honor of Our Lady of Fatima. Rosaries and prayer guides will be provided. This will happen rain or shine.

The second rally, the Rosary Coast to Coast, will be held on Sunday, October 11th, beginning at 4 pm in Long Leaf Park, formerly Hugh MacRae Park, at the intersection of Oleander Drive and Pine Grove Road, where we will pray the full Rosary (all four Mysteries) for our nation during this time of crisis, as tens of thousands across the country join from coast to coast to pray for America. Rosaries and prayer guides will be provided. This will happen rain or shine.

Sadly, there will be no Life Chain Wilmington this year.  Questions? Please contact Judi Paparozzi at 910-471-1534.

Carolina Catholic chats with Deacon John Walsh about the Basilica Shrine of St. Mary 

For our first October show, we chat with Deacon John Walsh about the history, art, and architecture of the Basilica Shrine of St. Mary here in Wilmington. Through the efforts of many priests, this beautiful church was not only built in 1912, but these priests also helped build a school and a rectory, they bought the Tileston Center where so many wonderful ministries serve the people to this day, and they worked to make this magnificent church elevated to both a shrine and a minor basilica. In this show, we learn about the pastors who did so much to make our beautiful basilica shrine a place of pilgrimage and worship for all Catholics.

This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's four stations, 91.7 FM, 93.1 FM, and 103.1 FM in Wilmington and 100.7 FM in Southport on the first two weekends of October, Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 6 pm.

We will meet Father James Altman, who along with Fr. Bill Peckman and Fr. Rick Heilman, has led this novena by providing thoughtful reflections, prayers of reparation and exorcism, and litanies to the faithful in order to inspire us all to call out to God to bless and heal our land.

Virtual Rosary Prayer Group

Wilmington has it's own Rosary Across America now and it was launched on Thursday, March 19, and will continue every Thursday evening at 8:00 "until all our Churches can reopen" in the words of the leader, Sabina Newman, a parishioner at Saint Mark.

According to Sabina,

I want to reach out to you in this stressful time for our nation and Church.  When I saw our Church doors locked, my heart sank. Even though the doors are closed, HE is truly with us.  I always remember what is written in the Bible, Matthew 18:20 - "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

I am proposing a virtual prayer/rosary group that can grow.  We want Jesus to know we hear Him and support Him.  Also, as His children, we need His help. Our Blessed Mother will guide us through her beautiful rosary. 

This is a live teleconference. No pre-registration is needed.  Just dial in before the start time.
