SCHEDULE OF EVENTS:
Bus trip: On the first Saturday of
every month, 12 months of the year, our group plans a trip to the
Greensides Farm in Marmora, Ontario, where the Blessed Virgin Mary
hasbeen appearing for the last 10 years.
The
Nineveh Holy Rosary
Society also travels to
Greensides Farm on special Marian Feast days. On September 7th., the
day before the Blessed Mother's birthday, we arrive at the Farm at
approximately 11:00 p.m. to start the "Rosary Stations of the Cross"
at midnight. We pray one Rosary at each Station, finishing around 8:00
a.m. on September 8th. What a fitting gift, we pray, for our Mother's
birthday!
We also organize bus
tours which visit beautiful, old churches in Montreal, and we have a
Pilgrimage planned for Oct. 12th to Oct. 15th. to
Cap-de-la-Madeleine, St. Anne-de-Beaupre, the Shrine of the Sacred
Heart of Jesus at Beauvoir, Quebec, and the Shrine of Our Lady of
Lourdes at Rigaud Quebec.
Our Society is also
active in promoting Eucharistic Adoration in our Archdiocese. So far,
we have succeeded in having 14 parishes increase their hours of
Adoration considerably.

On Eucharistic
Adoration
1378. "Worship of the EUCHARIST. In the liturgy of the Mass we
express our faith in the real presence of Christ under the species of
bread and wine by, among other ways, genuflecting or bowing deeply as
a sign of adoration of the Lord. 'The Catholic Church has always
offered and still offers to the sacrament of the EUCHARIST the cult of
adoration, not only during Mass, but also outside of it, reserving the
consecrated hosts with the utmost care, exposing them to the solemn
veneration of the faithful, and carrying them in procession.'[Paul VI,
MF 56.]"
1379. "The tabernacle was first intended for the reservation of
the EUCHARIST in a worthy place so that it could be brought to the
sick and those absent outside of Mass. As faith in the real presence
of Christ in his EUCHARIST deepened, the Church became conscious of
the meaning of silent adoration of the Lord present under the
Eucharistic species. It is for this reason that the tabernacle should
be located in an especially worthy place in the church and should be
constructed in such a way that it emphasizes and manifests the truth
of the real presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament."
